System Description

Fig. 1 Exploded View Of Brake Caliper.:






DESCRIPTION
This single piston sliding caliper assembly, Fig. 1, is mounted to a support bracket by two slide pins. The caliper assembly slides on the two mounting pins.

OPERATION
Upon brake application, fluid pressure against the piston forces the inboard shoe and lining assembly against the inboard side of the disc. This action causes the caliper assembly to slide until the outboard lining comes into contact with the disc.
