Abstract
The brake has a carrier member (12) comprising a fastening portion (14) for mounting near a brake disc (10) and a centrally disposed bridging portion (16) extending across the brake disc (10), as well as a floating caliper (30) which straddles part of the brake disc (10) and the carrier member (12) as well as the brake pads (40,42). A pair of actuating cylinders (36) are disposed at least approximately symmetrically with respect to an axial center plane (D) of the carrier member (12), at the floating caliper (30). At each side of the brake disc (10) there are two separate brake pads (40, 42) adapted to be disassembled past the bridging portion (16) substantially radially with respect to the brake disc (10) when the brake is in its installed position. The floating caliper (30) is guided at the fastening portion (14) on two pins (26,28) located in the center plane (D) of the carrier member (12) and, in addition, directly at a guide member (34) formed at the bridging portion (16) beyond the brake disc (10), as seen from the fastening portion (14).
