Brake calipers for Renault Logan Sandero II Logan

Brake Calipers: Components, Function, and Maintenance

Brake calipers are vital components of a car's braking system, responsible for converting hydraulic pressure into mechanical force to slow or stop the vehicle. Without properly functioning brake calipers, a car's braking performance and safety are compromised. Explore OEM brake calipers and replacement parts in our catalog.

Inside Brake Calipers

Several crucial parts make up brake calipers:

• Pistons: Pushed outward by hydraulic pressure, causing brake pads to squeeze against the rotor.
• Brake Pads: Made of high-friction material, enduring immense heat and pressure during braking to provide necessary friction.
• Seals: Prevent brake fluid leakage and maintain hydraulic pressure for consistent braking performance.

Choosing and Maintaining Brake Calipers

Selecting high-quality brake calipers and regular maintenance are crucial for safe driving:

• Look for calipers constructed from durable materials like aluminum or stainless steel, offering better heat dissipation and corrosion resistance.
• Regularly inspect and replace worn brake pads and seals to prevent brake failures and ensure optimal braking performance, promoting driver and passenger safety on the road.
