Deemaxx Caliper Suit 1500/1750Kg Stainless Steel

Description

Disc Brake Caliper Stainless Steel For 3-6k Axle With Stainless Steel Brake Pads 8.6 lbs. This Caliper has a “floating” design.

Advantages of a floating caliper:

• Smaller
• Lighter
• Easy to mount
• Easier to package

A floating caliper, common on production vehicles, has a piston or pistons only on the inboard side of the caliper. The floating caliper is mounted on pins or slides so that when the piston extends and presses the inboard pad against the rotor, the whole body of the caliper slides on its pins or guides in the opposite direction, bringing the outboard pad into contact with the rotor.

Additionally, floating calipers:

• Cool better as the fluid and piston are only on the inboard side of the rotor
• Have fewer moving parts and seals to leak or wear out
• More easily incorporates a cable-operated parking brake
