Abstract
A brake assembly having a guide pin assembly that slidably couples a brake caliper to a brake carrier. The guide pin assembly may include a resilient member that extends between a bushing and a sleeve. The sleeve may be mounted to the brake carrier. The brake caliper may be slidable along the bushing.
Claims20
A brake assembly comprising:
- a brake carrier;
- a brake caliper that defines a bore that extends along an axis;
- and
- a guide pin assembly that slidably couples the brake caliper to the brake carrier, the guide pin assembly including:
- a bushing that is received in the bore;
- a sleeve that is received in the bushing;
- a resilient member that is received in the bushing and that extends between the bushing and the sleeve;
- and
- a fastener that fixedly couples the sleeve to the brake carrier;
- wherein the brake caliper is slidable along the bushing.

A brake assembly comprising:
- a brake caliper that has a caliper housing that defines a bore that extends along an axis;
- a brake carrier that receives an inboard brake pad assembly that is positioned between the caliper housing and a brake rotor and that receives an outboard brake pad assembly that is positioned on an opposite side of the brake rotor from the inboard brake pad assembly;
- and
- a guide pin assembly that slidably couples the brake caliper to the brake carrier, the guide pin assembly including:
- a first bushing and a second bushing that are received in the bore and that engage the brake caliper;
- a sleeve that is received in the first bushing and the second bushing;
- first and second resilient members that engage the sleeve and that engage and are received in the first bushing and the second bushing, respectively;
- and
- a fastener that is received in the sleeve and that fixedly couples the sleeve to the brake carrier;
- wherein potential energy is stored in the first and second resilient members when the brake caliper slides along the first bushing and the second bushing in a first direction and potential energy is released from the first and second resilient members to urge the brake caliper to slide along the first bushing and the second bushing in a second direction that is disposed opposite the first direction.
