Abstract:
1. A full contact brake comprising: a. an inboard housing including: b. an outboard housing including: c. an annular bridge tube located between and connecting the inboard housing to the outboard housing; wherein the inboard housing the outboard housing,and the annular bridge tube form a housing that comprises: a rotor located between the inboard, annular piston and the outboard annular piston so that during a brake apply both the inboard annular piston is moved towards an inboard side of the rotor and the outboard annular piston is moved towards an outboard side of the rotor; and wherein the seal in the inner seal groove and the seal in the outer seal groove of the inboard housing form an interference fit around the inboard annular piston and sandwich the inboard annular piston and the seal in the inner seal groove and the seal in the outer seal groove of the outboard housing form an interference fit around the outboard annular piston and sandwich the outboard annular piston so that rotation of the inboard annular piston and the outboard annular piston respectively are substantially prevented during a brake apply and wherein a force of the interference fit around the inboard annular piston and a force of the interference fit around the outboard annular piston is increased during the brake apply by a proportional increase in hydraulic pressure in the inboard housing and the outboard housing from hydraulic fluid moving into the inboard housing and the outboard housing so that the inboard annular piston and the outboard annular piston are prevented from rotating during the brake apply.
