An electrically-operated disc brake assembly for vehicles is disclosed in which a friction member is adapted to be applied to a rotatable brake disc by a brake-applying apparatus including an electric motor, and transmission in the form of a linear actuator comprising a screw device adapted to apply an axially-directed brake-applying force to the friction member in response to operation of the motor. The screw device comprises inner and outer co-operating screw-threaded members, and one of the members is adapted to co-operate with the armature of the electric motor.
