Abstract
A brake device includes actuators (31) for brake pads (30), which can be pneumatically powered to which urge the brake pads (30) into engagement with a brake disc (20). The actuators (31) are mounted on a front housing portion (2) which is pivotable on a rear housing portion (4) to open the housing and allow access to the actuators (31), as for servicing. Opening the housing causes a normally closed orifice (49) in the compressed air supply line to be opened, relieving pressure on the actuators (31), and protecting them from damage.
