A hydraulically actuatedDevice in a disc brake system that is mounted straddling the brake disc. The caliper contains at least one piston and is used to provide the clamping force of the brake pads on the disc.
A cast iron
A bright color per design that uses an adapter, or anchor plate, which is bolted to the spindle. The caliper floats laterally across a pair of special bolts that are screwed into the adapter. As hydraulic pressure is applied to the piston, the in board pad is forced against the rotor. This pressure causes the caliper to move inboard until an equal pressure is applied by the outside pad to the outer disk surface.
A bearing that supports the camshaft journal. On some engines it is full around and pressed in place. On some OHC overhead cam engine the cam shaft bearing is made up of two shells like a connecting rod bearing.
