Abstract

A floating type disc brake device in which a body, a support and a cylinder unit are configured separately, and a first piston and a second piston are accommodated in the cylinder unit, wherein the cylinder unit is fixed to arm portions provided on both the rotation-in side and the rotation-out side of a rotor in the support via cylinder attachment portions disposed on the outer circumference side of the cylinder unit.

Claims

1. A floating type disc brake device comprising:

a body,

a support including arm portions which hold an inner side brake pad slidably and which are provided on both a rotation-in side and a rotation-out side of a rotor in the support; and

a cylinder unit, wherein

the body, the support, and the cylinder unit are configured separately,

the cylinder unit includes a first piston configured to press the inner side brake pad, a second piston configured to press the body, a cylinder block accommodating the first piston and the second piston, and cylinder attachment portions extended from the cylinder block,

the cylinder unit is fixed to the arm portions via the cylinder attachment portions disposed on an outer circumference side of the cylinder unit.

2. The disc brake device described in claim 1, wherein

the cylinder unit is fixed to fixed positions in the arm portions on an outer circumference side in a radial direction of the rotor with respect to torque receiving positions in the arm portions.

3. The disc brake device described in claim 2, wherein

the cylinder unit is fixed to the fixed positions in the arm portions on the outer circumference side in the radial direction with respect to an outer circumference of the rotor.

4. The disc brake device described in claim 2, wherein

the cylinder attachment portions are fixed to the fixed positions via slide pins holding the body.

5. The disc brake device described in claim 2, wherein

the cylinder unit is positioned on an inner circumference side in the radial direction with respect to the fixed positions, and a space is provided between the two fixed positions on the rotation-in side and rotation-out side of the rotor, and

main bridges connecting the inner side and outer side of the body are provided in the body at the rotation-in side and rotation-out side of the rotor respectively in the space provided between the fixed positions.

6. The disc brake device described in claim 5, wherein

a connecting portion for connecting the two main bridges is provided in a center part of the body back portion in an axial direction of the rotor and between the main bridge disposed on the rotation-in side and the main bridge disposed on the rotation-out side.

7. The disc brake device described in claim 6, wherein

a center bridge extending from the connecting portion to an inner side of the body is provided.

8. The disc brake device described in claim 1, wherein

the support and the cylinder unit are made of different materials.

9. The disc brake device described in claim 1, wherein

the first piston and the second piston are configured to generate pressing force by power other than hydraulic pressure.
