Abstract
Disc brake comprising a yoke, at least one first brake pad mounted so as to slide within the yoke, the first brake pad comprising a pad support and a friction material, a caliper comprising at least one piston mounted so as to slide within the caliper in such a way as to move the first brake pad in relation to the yoke, at least one actuator configured to move the piston axially, and a separators device inserted between the piston and the first brake pad forming an equaliser so as to distribute the thrust force exerted by the piston onto at least two zones of the first brake pad, at least partially distinct from the projection of the piston onto the first brake pad.
