In principle, disc brakes convert kinetic energy into thermal energy. The existence of friction (friction) between the brake pad with the disc (disc rotor), which rotates with the torque value (torque) is quite large. Naturally, when braking, the surface can the disc burning. Really spooky! Therefore, the brakes are designed precision and durable. So what about the calipers? As an 'extension' hydraulic brake system, has a tip on the piston pressure.
Design calipers (shape and dimensions) primarily, adjust the brake mounting space according to a particular car. Thus, the caliper there is no term can be used universally or any type of car for this device. For a growing good ability, diameter disc and brake pad surface area can be enlarged. In the product specification data, the piston in the caliper like being called a pot.
Quantity proportional to the size of the pot brake pad is used. Brake pad is getting bigger, certainly requires a sufficient number of pistons. In the market itself, there are 5 types of pots; of the single pot, 2 pots, 4 pots, 6 pot and 8 pots.
Types of single and double pot pot existence only in the OEM version. The greater the number of pots and lots of it, then the brakes are more specialized capabilities for ornery powered machines, and heavy weight. For both alloys can produce a large momentum, which can only be conquered by a greater deceleration system.
