Abstract
An actuator for a brake system includes variable depth cam grooves on a pivotable lever which slide on spherical cam members moveably supported by a caliper for braking the disc portion of a disc assembly. An intermediately located maximum depth for the cam grooves provides for actuation of the caliper assembly in either of opposing first or second directions of pivot of the lever from a minimum separation position of the lever.
