Abstract
The disc brake incorporates a sliding caliper (18) straddling a rotating disc, the caliper incorporating a first portion (24) sliding on a fixed support (10) by way of at least one axial pillar (20) and incorporating a second portion (28) of the caliper astride the disc. The second portion (28) is hinged to the first portion (24) along an axis of articulation (D) parallel to the plane of the disc and situated radially nearer to the axis of rotation (B) of the disc than the line of action (C--C) of the brake actuator, an abutment (56-58) is positioned between the first (24) and the second (28) portions and lies in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the disc and parallel to the axis of articulation (D).
