ATE Floating Caliper

Fig. 1 A.T.E. Dual Pin Floating Caliper Front Disc Brake Assembly:

The single piston floating caliper disc brake assembly consists of the hub and disc brake rotor assembly, caliper, pads, splash shield and adapter.

The caliper assembly floats on two rubber bushings riding on two steel guide pins threaded into the adapter. The bushings are inserted on the inboard portion of the caliper. Two machined abutments on the adapter position and align the caliper fore and aft. Guide pins and bushings control caliper and piston seal movement to assist in maintaining proper pad clearance. All braking force is taken directly by the adapter.
