Abstract

The braking system incorporates at least one brake disc (36) sliding on a rotating driving component (22) capable of being braked by way of friction components (44, 50). The sliding disc (36) is provided with a device for returning and memorizing a position (60) enabling the disc to be always at the same predetermined distance relative to one of the friction components (44) when the brake is not applied, irrespective of the state of wear of the friction component (44). Applicable to motor vehicle braking systems.
