Key Features of Caliper Pins
|
Corrosion Resistance:
|
Many caliper pins are coated with anti-corrosion treatments, such as zinc plating or special coatings, to resist rust and extend their lifespan. |
|---|---|
|
Precision Fit:
|
Designed with tight tolerances to ensure a secure fit within the caliper bracket, allowing for smooth and consistent sliding motion of the caliper. |
|
Smooth Surface Finish:
|
The pins have a polished or smooth finish to minimize friction and reduce wear on the caliper and pads, promoting efficient brake operation. |
|
Lubrication Grooves or Channels:
|
Some caliper pins feature grooves or channels to retain lubricant, helping to reduce friction and prevent sticking or seizing of the caliper. |
|
Heat Resistance:
|
Caliper pins are engineered to tolerate high temperatures generated during braking without deforming or losing functionality. |
|
Variety of Sizes and Configurations:
|
Available in different sizes and designs to accommodate various types of brake calipers across different vehicles and applications. |
|
Easy Installation and Replacement:
|
Caliper pins are designed for straightforward installation and replacement, facilitating maintenance and brake servicing. |
Application
|
Automotive Brake Systems:
|
Commonly found in passenger cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Caliper pins enable the brake caliper to slide smoothly, allowing the brake pads to make consistent contact with the rotor, ensuring effective braking performance. |
|---|---|
|
Heavy-Duty and Commercial Vehicles:
|
Used in the brake systems of buses, trucks, and other commercial vehicles, where durability and reliable braking are critical for safety and performance. Caliper pins help maintain proper brake function even under heavy loads and frequent use. |
|
Motorcycles and ATVs:
|
Caliper pins help ensure responsive braking and reduce wear on the brake pads and rotors during off-road or high-speed conditions. |
|
Industrial Machinery:
|
Employed in the braking systems of industrial equipment such as forklifts, cranes, and other heavy machinery, where reliable stopping power is needed to ensure safe operation. |
|
Racing and High-Performance Vehicles:
