Brake Caliper: Description and Operation
Delco-Moraine Single Piston Caliper
With Delco-Moraine 3400 Caliper
Fig. 2 Exploded View Of Disc Brake Caliper Assembly.
The caliper assembly slides on its mounting surfaces, Fig. 2. Upon brake application, hydraulic pressure against the piston forces the inboard pad against
the inboard side of the disc. This action causes the caliper assembly to slide until the outboard pad comes into contact with the disc, which in turn creates
a slowing or stopping action.
