Abstract
A disc brake comprising a number of interleaved rotor and stator elements and a brake actuator which is arranged to urge the rotor and stator elements into engagement in order to apply the brake. The engagement surfaces of the rotors and stators are provided with areas of carbon and non-carbon based friction material which are arranged so that the disc brake consists of a number of iron friction pairs and a number of carbon friction pairs, the iron friction pairs being located nearer to an open end of the brake structure so that the friction pairs most likely to be wet are those which perform best when wet.
