Short Caliper
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Short Caliper, also known as the brake caliper, is a vital part of a commercial truck's braking system. It is responsible for applying pressure to the brake pads, which then clamp down on the rotor to slow or stop the vehicle. The Short Caliper is made up of a housing, piston, and brake pads. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic fluid is sent to the caliper, causing the piston to move and apply pressure to the brake pads. This pressure then creates friction between the pads and rotor, which slows down the vehicle. The Short Caliper is an essential part of the braking system, ensuring the safety of the driver and passengers on the road. In addition to its crucial role in the braking system, the Short Caliper is also an important component in maintaining the overall performance of the commercial truck. A malfunctioning caliper can cause uneven wear on the brake pads and rotor, leading to decreased stopping power and potentially dangerous driving conditions. Regular maintenance and inspection of the Short Caliper is necessary to ensure its proper functioning and prevent any potential safety hazards. With its critical role in the braking system and overall performance of the commercial truck, the Short Caliper is an essential part that should not be overlooked.
