| Features |
Advantages |
| Dual Yoke Construction |
Shared clamping load between upper and lower plates - reduce caliper yawning and reduce tendency to generate radial taper pad wear High stiffness - reduce fluid requirement Improved pad pressure distribution -- high performance and fade resistant |
| Pressed Metal Plates |
Low cost high stiffness construction Excellent geometry for heat dissipation |
| Four-part Construction |
Modular construction using "standardised" parts -- low cost Ease of bore machining - high speed low cost tooling Optimum combination and utilisation of high stiffness high strength steel and light weight aluminium |
| Differential size pistons and/or asymmetrical placement |
Optional configurations allow optimsed control of circumferential pad pressure distribution |
| Single/multiple pad configurations |
Opportunity to further increase stiffness to top plate |
| Unique Pad Hold Down Spring |
Allows quick pad change with simple hand tool Self locking - mistake-proof Positive pad retraction - reduce unintended pad-to-rotor contact; reduce generation of DTV and noise |
| Ribs on Cylinder Block |
Reinforcement to pad abutment Extra cooling surfaces for heavy duty/high performance applications |
| Mounting Options |
Both axial and radial mounting of caliper to knuckle possible |
| Low profile |
Plates and cylinder blocks can be adapted to emulate thin "bridge profile" and cater for extra large rotor applications |
| Aesthetics |
Large and highly visible cylinder block surface for display of logo High performance appearance commensurate with its technicl capability Colour coated components (and combinations) provide extra visual enhancement |
