Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-disc brake comprising a stationary rotary disc (1) and a moveable rotary disc (2) which is mounted on a splined sleeve (5) sliding on a splined part (3a) of a hub (3) of axis (4) and with which the disc (1) is solid. An assembly of friction pads (6 to 9) can interact with the discs (1,2) under the action of a hydraulic jack (13). The splines (23,25) of the hub and of the sleeve are protected from dirt by deformable diaphragms (20,26) which are turned in on themselves and which are arranged so as to be shielded from the thermal radiation emitted by the braking members (1,2,6 to 9).
