Product type
Brake calipers are essential components of a vehicle's braking system, responsible for clamping the brake pads against the brake rotor to create friction and slow down or stop the vehicle. Typically made from materials such as aluminum or cast iron, they house the pistons that push the brake pads against the rotor. Calipers can be either fixed or floating, with fixed calipers providing better performance and floating calipers being more commonly used in standard vehicles due to their cost-effectiveness.
| Material | Aluminum or cast iron |
| Type | Fixed or floating |
| Piston diameter | Typically ranges from 30mm to 60mm |
| Weight | Varies from 1kg to 5kg depending on design |
| Finish | Painted or anodized for corrosion resistance |
When selecting brake calipers, buyers should consider the type of vehicle and its specific braking requirements. It's important to specify the caliper type (fixed or floating), piston diameter, and any specific performance needs. Additionally, inquire about compatibility with existing braking systems and check for certifications or standards that may be relevant for safety and performance. Quantities should also be specified based on whether the purchase is for a single replacement or multiple units for a fleet.

Fixed calipers have pistons on both sides of the rotor for better performance, while floating calipers have a single piston and slide to adjust.
Signs include uneven brake pad wear, leaking brake fluid, or reduced braking performance.
Yes, but ensure they are compatible with your vehicle's braking system specifications.
Regular inspection for leaks, corrosion, and proper function is recommended, along with brake pad replacement.
Yes, performance calipers are designed for racing and high-performance applications, offering improved heat dissipation and stopping power.
