Abstract
The invention relates to a multi-disc brake comprising a stationary rotary disc (1) and a movable rotary disc (2) which is mounted on a splined sleeve (5) sliding on the hub (3) of axis (14) and with which the disc (1) is solid. An assembly of friction pads (6-9) can interact with the discs (1, 2) under the action of a hydraulic jack (13). To prevent any rattling at the start of each braking operation, elastic blocks (50) are inserted inside housings provided in the system of splines of the sleeve (5) and of the hub (3) and, when expanded, draw the flanks of the splines against one another in working contact during a braking operation.
