Abstract
A wedge type actuator assembly for a disc brake employing a roller bearing assembly interposed between the wedge member and the tappet and including a generally U-shaped cage member embracing the wedge member and having a plurality of transversely extending slots each journally receiving a roller bearing. The wedge member includes raised ribs on each end face which guide on the adjacent housing surfaces. The end portions of the cage member guide on the portions of the end faces of the wedge member between the raised rib and the wedge face and include steps which coact with steps defined by the raised ribs to restore relative indexing of the roller bearing assembly and wedge member in the event the indexing becomes disturbed.
