What do you mean by the car's brake caliper?
Brake caliper is a kind of caliper device that has the function of slowing down, stopping or stopping the moving wheels. It is only used in disc brake system.The working principle of the disc brake can be described by a plate. When the rotating plate is held with thumb and forefinger, the plate will stop rotating, and the thumb and forefinger play the role of the brake caliper.
A disc brake on a car consists of a brake pump, a brake disc attached to the wheel, and a brake caliper on the disc. When braking, the high pressure brake oil pushes the piston in the caliper and presses the brake shoe to the brake disc to produce braking effect. Disc brake, it is divided into ordinary disc brake and ventilated disc brake two kinds.
Ventilated disc brake is set aside a gap between two pieces of brake disc, the gas flow passes through in the space, some ventilated disc also drill out many circular vent on disk, or the disk is in the cut out of the tank ventilation or precast rectangle hole. The ventilated disc brake uses the airflow function, its cold heat effect is better than the ordinary disc brake. The main advantage of disc brakes is that they can be braked quickly at high speeds. The heat dissipation is better than the drum brakes. The braking performance is constant, and it is easy to install advanced electronic equipment such as the ABS.
