Abstract
A friction pad of a disc brake is indirectly actuated through a yoke to move between brake application and brake release positions with respect to a braking disc. Supports on the yoke each have elastomeric bushings arranged to slidingly receive a collar on a rod fixed to the stationary hydraulic cylinder so as to guide the yoke in its movements. The elastomeric bushings are so configured that the elastomeric bearings slide over the collars with less frictional resistance during brake application movement than during brake release movement.
