Sterling Brake Caliper

In humans quest for survival they really want to ensure that they are well away from harm, especially road accidents that are very prevalent these days. It’s true that the brakes can really make a big difference between a life and death situation, so having an efficient braking system will help preserve your life on the road. When it comes to road safety the first thing that will usually be mentioned is the brakes. So when you say brakes, it’s already synonymous to safety. A lot of people intending to purchase a vehicle or to rent one usually check out the brakes above all other components.

There are two kinds of brakes usually utilized by manufacturers in car production. The disc brake and the drum brake have been used for quite a long period of time. These two types of brakes vary in the level of efficiency they deliver. Since more stopping power is required of the front wheels, it is usually installed with disc brakes and the rear with drum brakes. Throughout time, manufacturers found out that the disc brakes are more efficient in delivering the needed stopping power even during abrupt brake application. Due to this, more and more manufacturers are now making use of disc brake for all the wheels.

However, the disc brake will not be able to function well without the components that comprise it, especially the brake caliper. The brake caliper is a U-shaped device where the brake pads are mounted. Whenever the brakes are applied, the hydraulic pressure pushes the caliper and the pads towards the brake disc and once they make contact friction is immediately produced. There are three kinds of brake calipers that are available to manufacturers; these are the fixed caliper, floating caliper and the sliding caliper. Among these three, the fixed caliper offers the most reliable braking performance due to its unique structuring. The floating type is mounted using special pins and it floats back and forth with the movement of the wheel. The sliding caliper functions in almost the same way only that it is mounted using machined guides.
