Used Brake CalipersThe brake caliper is the assembly which houses the brake pads and pistons. The pistons are usually made of aluminum or steel. There are two types of calipers: floating or fixed. A floating caliper (also called a sliding caliper) moves with respect to the disc, along a line parallel to the axis of rotation of the disc; a piston on one side of the disc pushes the inner brake pad until it makes contact with the braking surface, then pulls the caliper body with the outer brake pad so pressure is applied to both sides of the disc. A fixed caliper does not move relative to the disc. It uses one or more pairs of opposing pistons to clamp from each side of the disc, and is more complex than a floating caliper.
