Abstract
A disc brake system comprising a disc, and a hub which is arranged to rotate about an axis thereof. The system also comprises a mounting arrangement by which the disc is mounted on the hub so that the hub and the disc rotate as a unit about the axis and the disc can perform axial sliding movement on the hub. The system also comprises a plurality of leaf springs mounted on the hub and engaging the disc so that the springs apply radially-directed forces between the disc and the hub. Each of the springs comprises at least three abutments which project transversely of the spring and engage the disc so that the abutments apply forces to the disc.
