Abstract
A disk brake arrangement includes a retraction mechanism for positively retracting brake pads after application to the brake rotor. Preferably the retraction mechanism is energized by movement of a hydraulically actuated piston for applying one or more brake pads. In an embodiment a drag sleeve is associated with the piston to compensate for brake pad wear and provide a more constant retraction force for retraction of the brake pads.
