Abstract
A disc brake caliper assembly has a support bracket, a caliper body, a first brake pad, a second brake pad, and an actuator. The caliper body is slidably supported on the support bracket. The first brake pad is adapted to apply a first engagement force to the rotary component. The second brake pad is pivotally supported by the caliper body and is adapted to apply a second engagement force to the rotary component. The actuator is supported by the caliper body and is operable to exert a drive force on the second brake pad. The drive force has a magnitude that is less than the second engagement force. Actuation of the actuator pivots the second brake pad into engagement with the rotary component and induces the caliper body to slide relative to the support bracket such that the first brake pad engages the rotary component.
