Abstract
A spot-type brake comprises a caliper movable during braking to engage a pair of friction elements with a rotor. The rotor comprises a first part and a second part. The first part is engageable with radially outer portions of the pair of friction elements and the second part is engageable with radially inner portions of the pair of friction elements. The rotor parts and the pair of friction elements are V-shaped with the rotor parts forming a spacing therebetween to receive a movable support which urges one of the pair of friction elements into engagement with the rotor and a fixed support opposing the one friction element.
