A disc brake to receive a disc and a brake pad. The disc brake includes an inner pad to produce friction with one side of a disc, an outer pad to produce friction with an opposite side of the disc, and a caliper housing including a cylinder part provided therein with a cylinder to receive a piston to press the inner pad and a finger part provided in front of the cylinder part to press the outer pad. The caliper housing includes a spacer to variably change an interval between the cylinder part and the finger part.
1. A disc brake comprising:
an inner pad to produce friction with one side of a disc;
an outer pad to produce friction with an opposite side of the disc; and
a caliper housing including a cylinder part provided therein with a cylinder to receive a piston to press the inner pad and a finger part provided in front of the cylinder part to press the outer pad,
wherein the caliper housing includes a spacer to variably change an interval between the cylinder part and the finger part,
wherein the spacer is provided at one side thereof with a piston guide which faces the piston so as to guide the piston,
wherein the piston guide has a shape corresponding to the piston, and
wherein the shape is hemispherical.
2. The disc brake of claim 1 , wherein the cylinder part, the finger part, and the spacer are coupled with each other by using a coupling member.
3. The disc brake of claim 1 , wherein the spacer includes at least one selected from the group consisting of cast iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron, and aluminum or an alloy thereof.
4. The disc brake of claim 1 , wherein the piston guide is arranged to be in sliding contact with the piston.
5. The disc brake of claim 1 , wherein the finger part branches into two parts, and the two branch parts are combined with each other at a lower end portion of the finger part, and
a space part is formed at a central portion of the finger part by the two branch parts.
6. A caliper housing comprising:
a cylinder part provided therein with a cylinder used to receive a piston;
a finger part provided in front of the cylinder part; and
a spacer to variably change an interval between the cylinder part and the finger part,
wherein the spacer is provided at one side thereof with a piston guide which faces the piston so as to guide the piston,
wherein the piston guide has a shape corresponding to the piston, and
wherein the shape is hemispherical.
7. The caliper housing of claim 6 , wherein the spacer includes at least one selected from the group consisting of cast iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron, and aluminum or an alloy thereof.
8. The caliper housing of claim 6 , wherein the piston guide is arranged to be in sliding contact with the piston.
9. The caliper housing of claim 6 , wherein the finger part branches into two parts, and the two branch parts are combined with each other at a lower end portion of the finger part, and
a space part is formed at a central portion of the finger part by the two branch parts.
