Product type
A fixed brake caliper is a crucial component of a vehicle's braking system, designed to house the brake pads and apply pressure to them against the brake rotor. Unlike floating calipers, fixed calipers have pistons on both sides, allowing for more uniform pressure and improved braking performance. They are typically made from materials such as aluminum or cast iron, which provide strength and heat resistance. Fixed brake calipers are commonly used in high-performance vehicles and racing applications due to their superior stopping power and responsiveness.
| Material | Aluminum or cast iron |
| Piston configuration | Dual or multi-piston |
| Mounting type | Bolt-on or bracket-mounted |
| Brake pad compatibility | Varies by vehicle model |
| Weight | Typically 2 to 10 pounds |
| Finish | Painted or anodized for corrosion resistance |
When selecting a fixed brake caliper, buyers should consider the specific vehicle make and model to ensure compatibility. It's important to specify the desired piston configuration, as this can affect braking performance. Additionally, buyers should inquire about material options and any required certifications for high-performance applications. Quantities may vary based on whether replacements or upgrades are needed, so it's advisable to confirm the number of calipers required for the vehicle.
