Brembo brake calipers

Brake calipers are an integral part of the braking system. It is an essential component in decelerating the wheels and bringing the vehicle to a stop. 

Below, we explore the functionality, components, types, materials, and maintenance of brake calipers.

Brake calipers play a pivotal role in a vehicle’s braking system. They are responsible for slowing or stopping the car by creating friction with the brake rotors.

This system is crucial for safe driving, as it directly affects the vehicle’s stopping ability. When the brake pedal is pressed, brake fluid enables the caliper to apply pressure to the brake pads, which in turn press against the rotors, creating the necessary friction to slow down or stop the vehicle.

Brake Caliper Components

Brake calipers comprise several components, including:

• Caliper and Mounting Bracket: The caliper is the part of the brake system that houses the brake pads and pistons.

  Its primary function is to slow the car’s wheels by creating friction with the brake rotors. The mounting bracket is
