  • Patent number: 9951832
    Abstract: Floating calliper for disc brake comprising a calliper body and a bracket, wherein the calliper body is suitable for being positioned astride the disc brake, extending from an inner side to an outer side of the calliper, the bracket comprises means of attachment of the calliper for disc brake to a relative support, the calliper body sliding in relation to the bracket in an axial direction, the calliper comprising means of coupling between the calliper body and the bracket, suitable to permit the relative sliding between these parallel to the axial direction. The bracket extends only on the inner side of the calliper and delimits a first seat housing at least a first pad to exert the braking action on an inner side of the disc brake. The calliper body delimits a second seat, axially opposite the first seat, so as to house at least a second pad exerting a braking action on an outer side of the disc brake facing the outer side of the calliper.

  • Patent number: 9388870
    Abstract: A device for retracting a piston for a brake caliper is disclosed. The device is suitable for actuating at least one pad for brake calipers of the type comprising a body arranged astride of a brake disc having a rotation axis and two opposite friction surfaces perpendicular to the rotation axis. The piston is suitable for axially translating, thus bringing each pad in contact with force against a respective friction surface of the disc, generating a braking friction torque that is opposite to the rotation direction of the disc. The piston is slidably actuated within a respective seat formed in the caliper body, biased by the pressure of a brake fluid supplied by a supplying plant, in a manner that is controlled by a user to carry out a braking action.

  • Publication number: 20140231190
    Abstract: A device (1) for retracting a piston (2) for a brake caliper, said device comprising an annular seat (26) coaxial with the piston seat, said annular seat having an axial abutment surface (40) perpendicular to said axial direction and arranged in the direction of output of the piston (2), and a radial bottom surface (28) arranged facing said side surface (11) of the piston, at least one elastic element (12) arranged in said annular seat (26), with a first radial surface thereof (13) in contact with force against said side surface of the piston, and with a second radial surface thereof (14) in contact with force against said radial bottom surface (28) of the annular seat (26), at least one elastic ring (21) housed in said annular seat (26) and axially arranged between said at least one elastic element (12) and said axial abutment surface (40), on the opposite side to the brake fluid, said ring (21) having an inner perimeter surface (41) and an outer perimeter surface (42), between said inner perimeter surface (

  • Patent number: 8376101
    Abstract: A brake caliper comprising a piston seat (10) wherein a piston (2) slides with its side surface (11) in contact with a radial surface (13) of an elastic member (12). The member further comprising two axial surfaces (15,16) adapted to be affected by a pressurized fluid and being arranged at the piston coming out side facing the pads respectively. The latter surface facing with a portion (17) thereof, a first chamber (18) arranged in the proximity of the piston side surfaces, with another portion (24) thereof, an abutment surface (19) adapted to support said elastic member when it is urged by the pressurized fluid, said abutment surface being radially retracted so as to be farther from the piston side surface than said first chamber and with a further portion (25) thereof, at least one second chamber (20) arranged radially farther from said piston side surface than said abutment surface.
