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 brake calliper has two arms, each including a housing and a stub. A member for guiding a disc brake pad is disposed in the housing, and is secured by lugs to a front of the stub. The member includes a body having a U-shaped section formed by an inner radial surface, a base, an outer radial surface, and includes a tongue that extends beyond an edge of the body, and that is configured to be hooked in the housing and to fully lock the member in the arm. An inner side of the body is bordered by an inner front supporting surface disposed against an inner surface of the arm. An outer front supporting surface is disposed against the front of the stud, extends into a hairpin damper spring extending towards the front of the stud, and is bordered on each side by a tongue that form side end-stops.

Spring-equipped member for guiding a disc brake pad and disc brake provided with such guiding members

A radial spring for a disk brake pad and brake pads and brakes provided with such radial springs, in which the radial spring is for the lug of a brake pad. The spring includes a clamp and a supporting loop. The clamp is formed of a straight arm, an undulating bottom, and an arm in the shape of a Z, followed by the loop connected by a bend, followed by a bend with a large radius of curvature connected to the pad terminated by a turn that is almost at a right angle to the extremity of the pad.

Radial spring for a disk brake pad and brake pads and brakes provided with such radial springs

A brake calliper has two arms, where each arm includes a housing and a stub. A member for guiding a disc brake pad is disposed in the housing, and is secured by lugs to a front of the stub. The member includes a body having a U-shaped section formed by an inner radial surface, a base, and an outer radial surface. An inner side of the body is bordered by an inner supporting surface located on an inner surface of the arms, and an outer supporting surface of the body is disposed against a front of the stud. The out supporting surface extends into a supporting surface toward the front of the stud. The body further includes a locking tongue that extends beyond an edge of the body, and is configured to be hooked in the housing.

Lock-equipped member for guiding a disc brake pad and disc brake provided with such guiding members

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 disc brake pad includes lugs, each of which is provided with a groove that receives the tongue of a coiled spring disposed in a housing in the brake yoke. The aforementioned groove has an essentially mixtilinear rectangular section, of which the base is formed in cross-section by a central portion in the form of a convex root face forming a support extending on each side into a fillet recessed from the supporting plane. The fillet joins the respective side of the groove behind the supporting plane.

Disc brake pad

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.
