Abstract
The disc brake (10, 210) comprises a support member (12, 212) having circumferentially spaced apart pin support portions (16, 18; 216, 218) with pin openings (20, 24). A cordal type carrier having inboard (32, 232), outboard (34, 234), and circumferentially spaced apart sides (36, 236; 38, 238) is mounted slidably by pins (22, 28; 222, 228) on the support member (12, 212). The pins extend slidably through the pin openings (20, 24) and are each fixed to the carrier (30, 230). One (22, 222) of the pins (22, 28; 222, 228) has a larger diameter than the other (28, 228) of the pins (22, 28; 222, 228), and the smaller diameter pin (28) has disposed thereabout an axially extending and slidable sleeve member (26). The axially extending sleeve member (26) receives the smaller pin (28, 228) within an eccentrically aligned through opening (27), the through opening (27) having a reduced diameter portion at an axially central portion (29) thereof in order to provide the disc brake (10, 210) with a three-point mounting that effects parallelism of the pins (22, 28) relative to one another. The carrier (30, 230) includes a central, axially extending opening (40, 240) with laterally extending axial…
