Abstract
Abstract A braking device for a vehicle comprises a brake for applying brake power to a wheel and an anti-lock control unit having an inertia type wheel angular deceleration sensor built therein which is driven by the wheel, the antilock control unit controlling the brake hydraulic pressure for the brake in accordance with the output of the sensor. In this braking device, the brake and the antilock control unit are disposed such that they stand opposite each other on the right and left sides of the wheel.
