CALIPER
A caliper is an essential component of disc brake systems, responsible for applying pressure to the brake rotor to slow down or stop a vehicle. It houses brake pads and pistons that create friction against the rotor, converting kinetic energy into heat. Made from durable materials like cast iron or aluminum, calipers ensure reliable stopping power and vehicle safety.
Description
A caliper is a crucial component of disc brake systems, responsible for slowing down a vehicle by creating friction with the brake rotors. Key features of a caliper include:
- Housing: The caliper houses the brake pads and pistons, which apply pressure to the rotor to stop the vehicle.
- Pistons: Hydraulic or electronic pistons push the brake pads against the rotor, converting kinetic energy into heat and slowing down the vehicle.
- Brake Pads: The pads provide the friction necessary to stop the vehicle and are designed to withstand high temperatures and wear.
- Durability: Calipers are made from robust materials like cast iron or aluminum to handle extreme conditions and resist corrosion.
Calipers are essential for the effective functioning of braking systems, providing reliable stopping power and safety for vehicles.
