Patent

CA 2598152

A disc brake for a vehicle such as a commercial vehicle, wherein the brake caliper is provided with an actuator mounting flange surface which is parallel to the brake rotor, and a corresponding pneumatic or electric actuator is provided with a mounting flange surface which is angled, such that when mounted to the caliper, the actuator is offset at a desired angle relative to the caliper and the vehicle axle on which the caliper is located. This approach to brake design reduces brake caliper production and tooling costs by eliminating multi-stage machining operations, and lowers distribution and inventory costs by permitting standardization on a single "zero degree" caliper design, thereby offsetting additional costs associated with producing and distributing brake actuators with differing mounting flange surface angles.
