If you're going down that route, why not just drive the pads directly with hydraulic pistons, like a Magura HS33? No need for any kind of linkage or pivots to complicate things.
Because i was hesitant about asking the piston to take the shear load from the pads, and hadn't thought of Magura's system which seems to be to take the shear on a simple sliding contact between tabs on the pad holder and claws that project from the cylinder body.
By the way, do you know what keeps the pad holders in the claws?
