How a Brake Caliper Works<\/h2>\n

The brake caliper is a vital part of the disc braking system, responsible for applying pressure to the brake pads and ultimately slowing down the vehicle. It works through hydraulic force and friction.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd27 Operation Principle<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    When the brake pedal is pressed<\/strong>, brake fluid is sent from the master cylinder to the caliper.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Inside the caliper, a hydraulic piston<\/strong> (or more) pushes the brake pads against the disc.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    The resulting friction slows down the disc<\/strong>, and therefore the wheel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    The more pressure applied, the greater the braking force.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
