How Rear Disc Brake Caliper Korea Works

Posted by wooshinindustry on October 28th, 2015

Brake calipers are necessary to make your vehicle stop and are the most important parts of automobile brakes. The same is true about rear disc brake caliper Korea. Disc brakes are used in most cars nowadays at least for the front wheels. However, many trucks and cars are using disc brakes with the rear wheels as well. In disc braking system the wheels of the vehicle are attached to metal rotors or discs which spin along with the wheel. The function of the caliper is to create friction with the rotors and slow down the wheels of the car.

The brake caliper fits like a clamp on the rotor and inside each caliper there is a pair of metal plates bonded with friction material called brake pads. There are two types of pads – out board cabs which are on the outside towards the curb and inboard brake pads which are on the inside towards the vehicle. On stepping on the brake hydraulic pressure is created on one or more pistons in the brake caliper due to the brake fluid from the master cylinder. There are high friction surfaces on the brake pads which cause the rotor to slow down or even completely stop it. The wheel stops or slows down when the rotor does because they are attached to each other.

In older cars and trucks there used to be drum brakes in which the motion of the vehicle is slowed down by the friction between the rotating drum and brake shoes inside the drum. Due to this friction heat and gases are created and they build up inside the drum due to which brake power is often lost and this occurrence is known as brake fade. The brake pads in the disc brakes are outside the disc rather than internal to the drum. This is the reason why they are ventilated in a better manner and don’t allow heat and gases to build up so fast. This is the reason that most modern vehicles normally have disc brakes rather than drum brakes. Every front brake caliper manufacturer Korea is taking advantage of this popularity of disc brakes.

There are two main types of calipers – fixed calipers or floating (sliding) calipers. Floating calipers move in and out with relation to the rotor and have one or two pistons only on the inboard of the rotor. The entire caliper is pushed by this piston when you apply the brakes, which creates friction from the brake pads on both sides of the rotor. As the name implies fixed calipers don’t move but instead have pistons on the opposing sides of the rotor. As the performance of fixed calibers is superior they are usually the preferred choice but they are more expensive than floating calipers.

If you are planning to approach a brake caliper manufacturer Korea in order to buy these calipers it is necessary to understand their working and function. This is so that you are able to decide which calipers you should buy according to your requirement and budget. All this information is easily available with some research on the internet.
