REAR BRAKE (DISC)
id041100200900
Purpose/Function
• Large diameter, solid-disc type rear brakes with a 325 mm {12.8 in} diameter and 11 mm {0.39 in} thickness have been adopted, improving braking force and fade resistance.
• A brake caliper with an integrated motor has been adopted which enables brake force for hydraulic brake system or the electric parking brake.
Construction
Operation
• When brake fluid is applied, the piston equipped on one side of the caliper is pushed out and the brake pad is pushed against the disc plate. At the same time, the caliper body moves in the direction opposite of the direction in which the piston is pushed out so as to push the brake pad on the other side and generate brake force.
