Claims11
A disc brake system driven by a rack, comprising:
- a caliper body;
- an activating brake shoe linearly and slidably installed in said caliper body;
- a motor installed in said caliper body;
- a driving gear installed at a rotational shaft of said motor;
- a rack meshing with said driving gear and linearly moving in a perpendicular direction to a brake disc;
- and
- self boosting means disposed between said rack and activating brake shoe for transmitting force of said rack to said activating brake shoe, wherein said self boosting means compresses said activating brake shoe toward said brake disc by force provided from said rack and brake disc.
