Abstract
A self-energizing disc brake of the spreading type incorporates a drag-taking stop abutment for arresting angular movement of one of the pressure plates when the brake is applied. The stop abutment comprises a cam which is mounted on the inner end of a cam shaft, and the cam shaft is rotatable in a radial bore in the housing to adjust the relative circumferential position of the stop abutment.
