Abstract
In a self-energizing disc brake of the spreading type the angular position of a pressure plate in a retracted 'brakes-off' position is determined by an adjuster member comprising a cam which cooperates with the plate and of which the relative position is adjustable. The cam is carried by a cam shaft which is radially or axially arranged, and is accessible from the exterior of the housing of the brake. The cam may be incorporated into and comprise the stop abutment for arresting angular movement of one of the plates when the brake is applied.
