The caliper itself is the part of the braking system that squeezes the brake pads against the brake rotor to create friction and slow down or stop the vehicle.
Brake Caliper Function:
Brake Force Application:
When you press the brake pedal (or engage the braking mechanism in an electric vehicle or other system), hydraulic pressure is sent to the brake caliper.
Piston Movement:
The brake caliper contains one or more pistons that move when the hydraulic pressure is applied.
Brake Pad Engagement:
As the pistons push out, they press the brake pads against the rotating brake rotor (or disc), which is attached to the wheel. The friction between the pads and the rotor slows down the rotation, thus slowing or stopping the vehicle.
Heat Dissipation:
The caliper, in combination with the brake pads and rotors, also helps dissipate heat generated by the friction. This is critical for maintaining braking performance and avoiding brake fade (reduced effectiveness from overheating).
