A disc brake caliper having a caliper body, a disc brake pad with a support plate supporting a friction material, and a pad retracting device. The pad retracting device includes a guide pin which projects from the caliper body and is received in an opening in the support plate, a first carriage portion facing the caliper body, and a second carriage portion facing the friction material and/or said braking disc. A carriage guide is coupled with a predetermined interference between the carriage and the guide pin, allowing the carriage to slide with respect to the guide pin when the predetermined interference is exceeded. An elastic device is arranged between the second carriage portion and the support plate, which forces the support plate to move away from the second carriage portion, which remains integral to the guide pin, and thus from the braking disc by a predetermined extent.

Pad retracting device assembly for braking disc

Braking bands of discs for disc brakes, capable of both the efficient discharge of heat and of high mechanical performance at low weight are provided.

Braking band and disc for a disc brake

A disc brake caliper () comprising a first half caliper on the support side and a second half caliper on the wheel side (), at least one of said portions comprising a seat () having a prevailing extension that defines an axial direction (X-X). The caliper comprises at least one inclined bridge element () suitable for structurally connecting said first and said second half caliper (), said at least one bridge element () defining a substantial longitudinal prevailing extension direction (S-S) inclined by a predetermined angle (A) relative to the axial direction (X-X).

A braking band for a disc-brake disc includes opposed annular braking surfaces which extend from an inner edge facing towards the axis of rotation to an outer edge facing towards the outside of the disc. The braking band has a uniform distribution of grooves having a pattern or module that is repeated circumferentially in a manner such that the distribution is circumferentially uniform. According to an example embodiment, each of the grooves is closed and extends along a predominant line of extent defining an axis. The module extends from an inner radius to an outer radius which define an annular portion. The module further includes a first groove extending from the inner radius to the outer radius, a second groove, and a third groove that are shorter than the first groove. The axes of the second groove and of the third groove have an opposite inclination to the axis of the first groove.
