Abstract
The subject of the invention is a disc brake and support system for such a brake. The disc brake comprises a torque-supporting member (10), with which are associated actuation mechanism (26, 28) capable of urging at least one friction element (22, 24) against a rotating disc (18), the torque-supporting member being equipped with bores (32, 34) allowing it to slide respectively on a first column (12) located at the torque input and on a second column (14) located at the torque output in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the rotating disc, these columns being fixed to a stationary support (16). According to the invention, the guide lengths of the torque-supporting member (10) on the first column (12) and on the second column (14), L and l respectively, are different. Also according to the invention, the play left between the first column (12) and the first bore (32) on the one hand and between the second column (14) and the second bore (34) on the other hand, J.sub.E and J.sub.S respectively, can be different.
