id041100200700


Purpose/Function

•  Ventilated disc type front brakes with a 280 mm {11.0 in} diameter and 25 mm {0.98 in} thickness have been adopted, improving braking force and fade resistance. (MZR 1.6, SKYACTIV-G 1.5)
•  Large diameter, ventilated disc type front brakes with a 295 mm {11.6 in} diameter and 25 mm {0.98 in} thickness have been adopted, improving braking force and fade resistance. (SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5, SKYACTIV-D 2.2)

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.
