Abstract
A disc brake has a support with a first end separated from a second end by first and second side walls that retain actuation members to move the first and second friction members into engagement with a rotor and effect a brake application. First and second perpendicular projections that extend from the support are aligned with the first wall and third and fourth perpendicular projections that extend from the support and are aligned with the second wall. The first and second friction members have first and second radial projections located between a first end and a second end. Beams connect the radial projections with the perpendicular projections to align the first and second friction members with the rotor and pivot on the perpendicular projections to carry reaction forces created during a brake application into the first end of the support.
