Abstract
A brake caliper and a pad assembly may have a pad retention device securely attached to a brake pad. The brake caliper may have an actuation device of movement and application of a braking action, along a thrust direction, to the brake pad to abut it against a braking surface of a disc. The actuation device may have an actuation device seat having a seat opening, where the seat receives a retention device coupling portion of the retention device through the seat opening. The assembly may have a coupling ring accommodated in the seat, leaving a radial clearance, free to move in a radial direction and leaving an axial clearance, free to move in an axial direction parallel to the thrust device thrust direction and limited in its stroke so as not to escape from the seat during use.
