Product type
A floating brake caliper is a type of brake caliper that is designed to allow for movement or 'floating' on the bracket. This design enables the caliper to self-adjust and apply even pressure to the brake pads against the rotor, improving braking efficiency and performance. Typically made from cast iron or aluminum, floating calipers are commonly used in both disc brake systems for cars and light trucks.
| Material | Cast iron or aluminum |
| Weight | Varies from 1 to 5 kg depending on size |
| Piston diameter | Typically ranges from 38 mm to 60 mm |
| Mounting type | Bolted or pinned |
| Brake pad compatibility | Varies by vehicle model |
When selecting a floating brake caliper, consider the vehicle make and model to ensure compatibility with the existing braking system. Look for specifications such as piston diameter, weight, and material to match performance needs. It is also important to verify any required certifications or standards for safety and quality. Specify the quantity needed, as bulk orders may have different pricing options.

Fixed calipers do not move and have pistons on both sides, while floating calipers shift to apply even pressure.
Signs include brake noise, uneven wear on brake pads, or fluid leaks.
No, compatibility depends on the vehicle's braking system design.
Regular inspection for wear, cleaning, and lubrication of sliding components.
Yes, they provide better pad wear and improved braking performance.
Look for durable materials, precise manufacturing, and compatibility with your vehicle.
