Caliper brakes are c-shaped devices often used with disc brakes. When a driver presses on the brake pedal, the caliper piston squeezes the brake pads against the rotor and causes the vehicle/bike to slow down or stop. It is a housing that fits over the brake disc and holds the brake pads in place. It is hydraulically activated. When the brake pedal is depressed, the master cylinder pumps brake fluid into the caliper. The hydraulic pressure created by the fluid move pistons located inside the caliper. These pistons push against the brake pad, which then makes contact with the disc creating friction and thus stopping the car. Calipers are fixed mount, opposed piston calipers cast from aluminium alloy. They are equipped with differential piston bores in order to eliminate pad taper. They are high torque brakes, having a long cycle life and offered in spring actuated and compact dimension.
