• A collage of different tools for machining brake calipers for vehicles.

Pinça do freio

A pinça do freio é um componente relevante para a segurança do veículo que é exposto a altas cargas térmicas e mecânicas. Quando o pedal do freio é pressionado, o fluido de freio é enviado para o pistão da pinça do freio, que pressiona as pastilhas de freio contra o disco. Os projetos e o número de pistões variam de acordo com o tipo de veículo e motor.

Caratteristiche e requisiti di lavorazione

Solid aluminium brake calipers are used for weight reduction. They are ideal for high performance vehicles and heavy models that require a rapid brake response.

  • Safety-relevant component
  • High demand on quality
  • High quantities

  • High chip volume depending on casting situation
  • Tight tolerance fields due to process and machine capability in series production
  • High process reliability and dimensional accuracy
  • Multi-spindle machining or custom machine
  • Cast iron: Higher machining force

1. Collegamento della pinza freno

Drilling tool with chuck
