The component that fixes the brake caliper is called the brake caliper guide pin. The function and working principle of the brake caliper: The brake caliper is an indispensable component of the braking system. Its main function is to push the brake pads, which then rub against the brake drum, reducing the vehicle's speed or bringing it to a stop. When the brake pedal is pressed, the master cylinder generates thrust to push hydraulic fluid to the caliper. The piston inside the caliper moves under hydraulic pressure, pushing the brake pads. The function of the caliper guide pin: The brake caliper can move left and right under the action of the guide pin. When the caliper moves to the right, it pulls the brake pad on the other side to clamp the brake disc. At this point, both brake pads simultaneously clamp the brake disc, achieving the braking effect.
