Abstract
A disk brake having a caliper (1) which straddles a disk (2), a carrier (3) fixed to the vehicle, a cylinder (4) secured to the caliper and closed by a piston (5) and two friction pads (10,11). Two cylindrical and mutually parallel guide pins which slide in corresponding housings. These housings being partially formed by bores (8, 9) made in the carrier (3) for maintaining the caliper (1) with the cylinder (4). The first bore (8), over first and second contiguous sections (s1, S2) of its length, has first and second respective inside diameters (D1, D2), the second diameter (D2) of which is greater than the first diameter (D1). The smaller diameter (D1) being formed on the same side of the first housing as the opening of the bore (8) and the first housing is formed, in addition to the first bore (8), from inside (130) a ring (13) made of elastomeric material.
