Abstract
In a vehicle disc brake a pair of friction pad assemblies are adapted to be applied simultaneously to the respective inboard and outboard faces of each of a pair of relatively fixed, axially spaced, rotatable discs by an actuator assembly. The actuator assembly comprises a pair of first and second rigid clamp assemblies which are relatively movable axially, and an actuator acting between the two clamp assemblies. The clamp assembly is arranged to apply the friction pad assemblies to the inboard faces of the discs and the clamp assembly is arranged to apply the friction pad assemblies to the outboard faces of the discs.
