Abstract
A brake for a braking shaft has a housing containing a brake disc (20) carried by the shaft and brake assemblies comprising fluid operated actuators (31) for brake pads (30) engageable with one side of the brake disc. The actuators are mounted on a cover portion (2) which can be hinged down to facilitate servicing of the brake assemblies. The cover portion has integrally formed locating elements for the actuators and guides for the brake pads (40,41,42,44). The brake disc (20) can slide off the shaft to allow access to passive brake pads acting on the other side of the brake disc.
