Apparatus for applying proportional forces to at least two brake pads for application to rotating machinery. A member moveable parallel to a first axis has a first pivot connection having a second axis about perpendicular to the first axis, a second pivot connection having a third axis about perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis, and a third pivot connection having a fourth axis about perpendicular to the first, second and third axes. A proportionalization lever has a length about parallel to the second and third axes, which is pivotally connected to the third pivot connection. It has a first end portion and a second end portion, with its pivot connection disposed intermediate its first end portion and its second end portion . A first brake pad positioning means for a first brake pad is pivotally connected to the first pivot connection, and a second brake pad positioning means for a second brake pad is pivotally connected to the second pivot connection. A first force communication means communicates force from the first proportionalization lever end portion to the first brake pad positioning means to apply force to the first brake pad, and a second force communication means communicates force from the second proportionalization lever end portion to the second brake pad positioning means to apply force to the second brake pad. Force applied to the second brake pad is proportional to the force applied to the first brake pad.
