Abstract
A disc brake caliper for use with a disc brake rotor having a first side and a second side. The caliper further includes a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion each positioned adjacent one side of the disc brake rotor. The caliper further includes brake pads disposed adjacent the respective mounting portions such that brake pads are on opposite sides of the disc brake rotor and in facing relationship therewith. Further, the disc caliper includes a hydraulic service brake actuator and an electric parking brake actuator, each of which is operable independently of the other. Each of the actuators are arranged for actuation against a second side of the first brake pad for displacing the first brake pad away from the first mounting portion and into engagement with the disc brake rotor. The hydraulic service brake and the electric parking brake actuators have positions of actuation on the second side of the first brake pad at positions spaced apart.
