What does a 4-piston caliper mean?
1 Answers
4-piston caliper refers to a brake caliper that has four hydraulic pistons in operation. The more pistons a brake caliper has, the greater and more stable the braking force it generates. Related information is as follows: 1. Introduction to brake calipers: It refers to a clamping device that functions to decelerate, stop, or maintain the stopped state of moving wheels, generally used only in disc brake systems. 2. Components of disc brakes: Consisting of a brake oil pump, a brake disc connected to the wheel, and the brake caliper on the disc. When braking, high-pressure brake oil pushes the pistons inside the caliper, pressing the brake pads against the brake disc to produce the braking effect. Disc brakes are divided into two types: ordinary disc brakes and ventilated disc brakes.
