Abstract:
1. A vehicle brake comprising: friction elements; a support member extending facing the friction elements for supporting at least one actuator; said at least one actuator being subdivided into: said first portion being fitted on the support member and being removable as a whole from said brake, said second portion also being removable as a whole from said brake; said first portion and second portion operationally cooperating to transmit a rotary motion of the motor to said first element of the screw-and-nut system so that rotation of the motor causes linear motion of the second element of said screw-and-nut system, said first axis and said second axis being non-coaxial when said first portion and said second portion cooperate; wherein the support member is arranged so that: said first portion can be removed from the brake only when said second portion has been previously removed; wherein said first portion of the actuator is removable from the brake along a first assembly path, and said second portion of the actuator is removable from the brake along a second assembly path that is distinct from said first assembly path; wherein said first assembly path extends in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said brake, and the second assembly path extends in a direction parallel to said longitudinal axis of said brake; and wherein said support member defines a fork between which said first portion is engaged following said first assembly path, said support member defining a hole into which said second portion is engaged following said second assembly path, said second portion having an output shaft projecting therefrom and penetrating into said first portion.
