Abstract
Nonpolluting brake assembly comprising a rotor, a pad comprising friction material capable of releasing particles resulting from abrasion, an autonomous suction device for drawing off said particles which comprises an intake opening arranged in the immediate vicinity of the pad and the rotor, a collection chamber for collecting the particles, an impeller driven by the rotor by means of a roller pressing on the rotor, for drawing off the particles through the opening and propelling them into the collection chamber, such that the particles are trapped as close as possible to their emission.
