Abstract
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.
