Abstract
A disc brake (10) with an anchor (12) fixed to a housing. The anchor (12) has non-symmetrical first (18) and second (20) rails which align first (22) and second (24) friction pads with a rotor (26). The first rail (18) has first (32) and second (34) sections with constraining surfaces (48,48') thereon separated from first bearing surfaces (50,50') by a first groove (44,44'). The second rail (20) has first (36) and second (38) sections with aligning surfaces thereon (55,55') separated from second bearing surfaces (60,60') by a second groove (53,53'). The first bearing surfaces (50,50') have a first complementary relationship with respect to aligning surfaces (55,55') and the second bearing surfaces (60,60') have a second angled complementary relationship with respect to the constraining surfaces (48,48'). The first (22) and second (24) friction pads (24) each have a carrier member (62,62') with a first projection (64,64') that respectively contact the constraining surface (48,48') along a first line of tangency in the first sections (32,34) of the first rail (18) and a second projection (68,68') along a second line of tangency in the first section (36,38) of the second rail (20).
