PIVOT PAD BRAKE CALIPER

摘要

A caliper housing including a piston bore and a bridge extending between the piston bore and a pair of caliper fingers interconnecting the caliper fingers and the piston bore. The caliper fingers of the caliper housing extend downwardly from the bridge to define a flat surface. A rotor having a disc shape defines a first side and a second side and disposed adjacent to the caliper fingers. An outer brake pad defining a first centroid is disposed adjacent to the first side of the rotor abutting the caliper fingers allowing the caliper fingers to urge the outer brake pad into engagement with the first side of the rotor. Each of the caliper fingers defines a pivot edge extending between the outer brake pad and the flat surface of the caliper fingers allowing the outer brake pad to pivot about the pivot edge.
