Brake Caliper: Description and Operation
ATE Floating Caliper
Fig. 1 Dual Pin Brake Caliper
COMPONENTS
The single piston floating caliper disc brake assembly consists of the hub and disc brake rotor assembly, caliper, shoes and linings, splash shield
and adapter.
OPERATION
The caliper assembly floats on two rubber bushings riding on two steel guide pins threaded into the adapter. The bushings are inserted on the
inboard portion of the caliper.
Two machined abutments on the adapter position and align the caliper fore and aft. Guide pins and bushings control caliper and piston seal
movement to assist in maintaining proper shoe clearance.
All braking force is taken directly by the adapter.
