Wide caliper assembly design

摘要

A disc brake caliper assembly (14) is provided including a support bracket (37), a pair of slide pins (38), and a caliper body (16). The support bracket includes an inboard rail (42) and an outboard rail (44). The inboard rail defines a pair of engagement bores (28a,28b). The pair of slide pins engage the pair of engagement bores. The caliper body slidably engages the pair of slide pins. The caliper body includes an inboard portion (22) and an outboard portion (24). The inboard and outboard portions balance each other such that the caliper body has a center of gravity that is substantially axially aligned with the location of engagement between the slide pins and the engagement bores. <IMAGE>
