A disc brake having a rotor, a pair of friction pads which are arranged to be capable of frictionally engaging the revolving faces of the rotor, a caliper which is arranged to straddle a portion of the periphery of the rotor and to incorporate therein a piston-cylinder device which is arranged to cause the pair of friction pads to frictionally engage the revolving faces of the rotor and a support member which carries the caliper in such a way as to have the caliper slidable in the axial direction of the rotor and is arranged to receive a braking torque arising on the friction pads either directly or through the caliper, comprising a fixed support arranged to have the support member carried by and turnable on a pin member which is disposed in parallel with the axis of the rotor and to include anchor parts which engage the support member to limit the turnable degree of the support member on the pin member, and a turning force detector which is disposed on at least one of the anchor parts and is arranged to detect the turning force of the support member.

A disk brake comprising a rotor having an axis, a pair of oppositely facing revolving faces facing in the axial direction of said rotor and a radially outer circumferential periphery, a caliper straddling a portion of the outer circumferential periphery of said rotor and including therein a piston-cylinder device, a pair of friction pads mounted on said caliper each on an opposite side of said rotor facing one of said revolving faces, with said piston-cylinder device arranged to cause said pair of friction pads to frictionally engage the revolving faces of said rotor, and a support member supporting said caliper so that said caliper is slidable in the axial direction of said rotor and said support member receives a braking torque developed by said friction pads one of directly and through said caliper, comprising: a fixed support, said support member supported on said fixed support, a pin member having an axis parallel with the axis of said rotor connects said support member to said fixed support so that said support member is turnable about the axis of said pin member, said fixed support includes anchor parts spaced transversely of the axial direction of said pin member outwardly from said pin member, said anchor parts engage said support member for limiting the degree said support member is turned on said pin member; and turning force detecting means located on at least one of said anchor parts for detecting the turning force of said support member, and said turning force detecting means includes a transducer for detecting the magnitude of the turning force as an electrical signal.
