BRAKE INSULATOR WITH THERMAL BARRIER

摘要

A brake caliper for a brake system of a vehicle includes a caliper body, a piston, and a brake insulator. The piston may be positioned at least partially inside the caliper body. The brake insulator includes a fabric and is positioned adjacent to a face of the piston. The brake insulator may have a thickness of about 0.75 mm to about 1.5 mm. The brake insulator may include a fabric connected to the piston and the fabric may include polymeric elements. According to at least one exemplary embodiment, a brake insulator for a brake caliper may include a fabric having a plurality of elements positioned relative to one another to create a plurality of interstices between the elements. The interstices may include air pockets and the brake insulator may have a thickness of about 0.75 mm to about 1.5 mm. A vehicle may include the exemplary embodiments of the brake insulator and the brake caliper.
