Abstract
The invention relates to a caliper for disc brake comprising a caliper body which defines a housing compartment for an associated brake disc and houses at least one pair of pads arranged on opposite sides of the housing compartment along an axial direction. The caliper body comprises at least one thrust piston axially operable against the pad, at least one axial guide which supports and guides the pad in the axial direction and a first thrust spring which exerts a thrust on the pad. Said thrust has a first axial component, axially directed in a direction of approach to the pistons, and a first radial component, perpendicular to the axial direction. Advantageously, the caliper body comprises at least one compensation spring which exerts an axial thrust on the pad in a direction of approach to the pistons. The second axial component annuls the momentum given by the friction force exchanged between the pad and the axial guide with respect to the point of application of the first axial component on the pad.
