Abstract

A disc brake having a support member with first and second spaced apart rails that extends toward a rotor to position first and second friction members adjacent corresponding sides of the rotor. The support member has a horizontal projection that extends away from the rotor with a first bore therein to receive a piston connected to the first friction member and a peripheral surface thereon that is received in a second bore in a caliper to define a second piston that is connected to the second friction member. The first piston, horizontal projection and second bore define an actuation chamber that receives pressurized fluid to develop an actuation force to move the first and second friction members into engagement with the rotor and effect a brake application. Retraction seals act on and move the first and second friction members away from the rotor to define a same running clearance.
