Abstract
A brake is disclosed comprising an annular cylindrical braking member with brake shoes respectively on the inside and outside of the braking member which are straddled by a C-shaped caliper member. The caliper member is pivotally and slidably mounted by a composite mounting assembly comprised of a pivot pin and a tubular bracing member received snugly thereon. The pivot pin acts in tension between opposed leg portions of fixed support while the bracing member acts in compression. A sealing pad or cap is disposed at each of the ends of the passageway in the caliper member through which the mounting assembly extends for providing fluid tightness thereat.
