FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: clasp brake incorporates a caliper with one or more brake-shoe linings surrounding one or more brake disks. One of the brake disks slides on over the central part representing a hub, sleeve or the like part. The said central part is fitted on the wheel axle or the like part. The disks are coupled with the central part with the help of teeth, splines or the like parts so the disks cannot rotate but are fitted to slide on along the axle. The contact parts of the teeth or the like parts of at least one disk and/or of the central part feature an arc-like shape if seen along the wheel axle. The contact parts represent the parts of the teeth surfaces to be engaged with each other with the brake released. The said contact parts of every tooth and/or spline of the said central part feature the arc-like shape with the total arc length exceeding 360°/Z, and preferably larger than 2(360°/Z), where Z is the number of teeth of the disk and central part respectively.
EFFECT: reduced noise and vibration with brake released, higher wear resistance in interface between brake disks and central part.
