Abstract: A disc brake assembly includes a brake clip having a U-shaped section and at least one extension portion. The U-shaped section has a base leg and opposing upper and lower legs extending from the base leg. The at least one extension portion has an application portion, a transition portion with first and second legs, and a bend connecting the first and second legs. The transition portion extends in a first direction from a side of the U-shaped section. The first and second legs extend in a direction other than the first direction. The bend redirects the application portion from a second direction to a third direction. The second direction is angled from the first direction.

Abstract: A method for producing an anchor bracket adapted for use in a disc brake assembly includes providing an as cast anchor bracket having two extending arms that include an inboard end and an outboard end connect by a bridge portion. Each of inboard ends defines an inboard channel and each of the outboard ends defines an outboard channel. Each of the bridge portions includes a guide pin hole. The inboard ends, outboard ends, and bridge portions define a rotor channel. One of the inboard ends and outboard ends includes a mounting opening. At least one of the inboard ends and the outboard ends are interconnected by a tie bar. Only the faces of the inboard channel and the outboard channel are machined for brake shoe assembly clearance. Only portions of the arms facing the rotor channel and not a portion of an underside the bridge facing the rotor channel are machined for rotor clearance.

Abstract: A disc brake for motor vehicle is discussed, which is of a simple design, comprises few parts, requires few machines for its manufacture and is low-noise and easy to assemble. For this purpose, the brake anchor plate receives in the receiving eyes retaining bolts which in turn support the brake linings. The floating caliper is connected by springs and through-points to the lining carriers.
