A motor vehicle disc brake includes a cover with two tiered bores of parallel axes, each bore includes at least one first section; a caliper slidably mounted axially with respect to the cover by two pins of parallel axes rigidly connected to the caliper and each including at least one guiding section which is slidably mounted, with a radial clearance, in the tiered bore of the cover; and brake, wherein a cylindrical outer guiding surface of the sliding guiding section of each pin includes at least two opposed axial portions, extending angularly about the axis of each pin according to an angle less than 90&#xb0;, a median axial plane of the two portions being parallel with a plane passing through the axes of the two pins.

Motor vehicle disc brake having reduced transverse clearance between pins and bores

A fixed caliper brake includes a caliper housing that includes two opposing blocks. Each of the opposing blocks includes an axial recess, an axial surface for supporting a brake pad, and elements for mounting and axially and slidably guiding the brake pad. The elements include a pad spring that is attached to each related lug of the brake pad, and a steel lamellar element having a spring and being received in the related recess.

Fixed caliper disk brake having stabilized brake pads, and related assembly and pad replacement methods

A disc brake whose carrier () includes two opposite arms () each including a C-shaped axial housing () accommodating a brake pad () including two opposite lateral lugs (), each lug () accepting a pad spring () including at least one lower, sliding, branch () and in which a lamellar element () is interposed between the lug () and the C-shaped housing (), this element () including a lower first sliding flange () accepting the sliding branch () of the pad spring () and an upper second flange () for bearing vertically in the housing (), at least one tangential preload spring () for tangentially preloading the pad () interposed between an arm () and the pad () and constantly urging the pad () in a direction (D) that is horizontal overall from the back forward.

Disc brake comprising a brake pad preload spring

A disk brake has a fork with two opposing arms each having a C-shaped axial seat designed to receive a brake pad with two opposing lateral lugs, each lug receiving a pad spring having at least one lower sliding branch, in which a laminar element is interposed between the lug and C-shaped seat, the element having a first lower sliding flange receiving the sliding branch of the pad spring and a second upper vertical supporting flange in the seat. The laminar element is elastically deformable between an initial free state in which the sliding flange and the lower face of the seat form a first acute angle and at least one state of loading by the pad spring in which the sliding flange forms a second acute or zero angle that is less than the first acute angle, and in which the sliding branch of the pad spring is pre-stressed.
