The caliper mechanism is an important brake component that ensures the brake pads make even contact with the disc during braking, allowing the vehicle to stop safely. Especially in heavy-duty vehicles, it plays a critical role in ensuring high braking performance and safety. VADEN ORIGINAL helps brake systems operate more efficiently by offering durable and long-lasting caliper mechanisms for heavy-duty vehicles.
What is a Caliper Mechanism? Its Importance for Heavy-Duty Vehicles

The caliper mechanism is an important component used in disc brake systems and is responsible for moving the brake pads towards the brake disc. This mechanism is designed to ensure a safe and effective stop during braking. In heavy-duty vehicles, the caliper mechanism plays a vital role in terms of high performance and safety.

Functions of the Caliper Mechanism
  • Moving Brake Pads: Creates friction by moving the brake pads towards the disc surface and stops the vehicle.
  • Ensuring Smooth Braking: Ensures that the pads make even contact with the disc.
  • Improving Braking Performance: Enhances safety by providing high braking power.
  • Reducing Wear: Supports a longer life for brake components.
Types of Caliper Mechanisms
  • Fixed Caliper Mechanism: Operates without movement thanks to its fixing points.
  • Floating Caliper Mechanism: Has a movable structure and ensures even contact of the pads during braking.
  • Electronically Controlled Caliper Mechanism: Operates with advanced electronic systems and is frequently used in modern vehicles.
Points to Consider When Using the Caliper Mechanism
  • Regular Maintenance: Regular checks should be made to ensure the mechanism functions properly.
  • Lubrication: Moving parts of the mechanism should be lubricated to reduce friction.
  • Using Original Parts: For reliable braking performance, products of reliable brands such as VADEN ORIGINAL should be preferred.
  • Professional Installation: The correct installation of the caliper mechanism should be done by experts.
Common Problems in the Caliper Mechanism
  • Braking Problems: The pads not making proper contact with the disc.
  • Seizure Problems: The caliper mechanism not moving and causing the pads to stick.
  • Brake Noise: Sounds caused by friction or vibration during braking.
  • Excessive Wear: Irregular wear of the pads or damage to the mechanism.
