A spring device for a disc brake, a pad and spring assembly for a disc brake, a brake caliper, and a disc brake is described. The spring device may have a spring body having prevalently longitudinal development, with at least one coupling portion, to couple in a snapping manner the spring device to a portion of an associable brake caliper in a removable manner. The spring pad assembly may have at least one brake pad having at least one ramp surface, inclined with respect to the radial direction and to the tangential direction, which forms an abutment reference for the at least one thrust surface of the spring device. The at least one ramp surface of the support plate puts in traction the spring device.

Spring device for disc brake, pad spring and disc brake assembly

A pad assembly adapted to be mounted in a caliper body for a disc brake has a pad-housing pocket. The disc brake defines an axial direction, either coinciding or parallel with the direction of the rotation axis of the brake disc associable with the caliper body, a radial direction (R-R), orthogonal to the axial direction, and a tangential (T-T) or circumferential (T-T) direction, orthogonal both to the axial direction and to the radial direction (R-R). The pad-housing pocket has at least one pocket wall to form a tangential abutment for a brake pad associable with the caliper body. The pad assembly has a brake pad having a support plate, adapted to form a support for at least one associable friction material, where the support plate has a main extension along the radial (R-R) and tangential (T-T) directions. The support plate has a predefined bulk along the tangential direction (T-T), or tangential bulk, such that the support plate is adapted to be accommodated with a predetermined tangential play in the pad-housing pocket. The pad also has at least one elastic element.

Pad assembly for caliper body

A pad for a brake caliper for a disc brake of a vehicle having a caliper body and a brake disc adapted to abut against a braking band of the brake disc. The pad has at least one plate and one friction material supported by the plate. The plate has a first side and a second side arranged at opposite tangential ends of the plate. The plate also has at least a first side ear and at least a second side ear. The two ears are each provided with slots. The two slots are adapted to accommodate corresponding associable pins mounted to the caliper body with clearance.
