Abstract
A disc brake comprising a caliper carrying a pair of friction pads and including a hydraulic fluid motor which directly applies one of said pads against a corresponding face of a disc and, by reaction through a sliding connection between the caliper and a fixed support, the other pad against the other face of the disc is disclosed. Extraction of the pad adjacent of the fluid motor is possible through a radial aperture in the caliper by moving the pad in front of a recess provided in at least one of circumferentially spaced edges of the aperture, said aperture being offset towards the fluid motor. A removable heat shield is normally inserted between the fluid motor and its adjacent pad to avoid escape of the latter and to avoid boiling of the hydraulic fluid in the fluid motor due to heating of the brake.
