Halt! the Acura Brake Caliper

By: Evander Klum

Today, most automobiles exude powerful engine capacity as the demand for speed and dynamic performance continues to rise. For most automobile manufacturers, the game is all about horsepower. Automotive leaders compete at breakneck pace and outdo each other when it comes to showcasing the latest and most robust engines. Contrary to the production of high-commanding performance vehicles, the engineering of powerful brakes is still not as prevalent as it should be. Only major players in the automotive industry have the wherewithal to study and research how to take braking technology even further. One main reason for this is probably the fact that these industry giants are more than willing to spend a fortune in order to incorporate a number of the latest feature into the braking systems of their cars. Consumer safety, after all, is at stake and thus, more and more companies are determined to ensure that this is no way compromised.

Honda is one the few manufacturers that incorporate highly researched and innovative braking systems technology into their cars. Acura, a Honda brand, is the division that markets luxury cars of the company in the United States, Hong Kong as well as in a number of other markets worldwide. All the cars under the Acura brand name naturally includes these braking systems technology into each of its cars. Thus, consumers who go for Acura cars are able to choose from a remarkable array of car models all outfitted with high-end quality brake parts and accessories that provide optimum road functionality. The would be a fine example. It operates just like a small hydraulic clamp designed to grip the brake rotor that brings your car to a halt. Made from the finest materials, the brake calipers houses key components like the brake pads and pistons. It is typically follows a U-shape design with a piston or pistons on one or both sides of the U assembly. The brake pads ride on top of the brake caliper pistons while the rotor spins in the channel of the U. When one hits the brakes, high-pressure fluid is transferred from the master cylinder down to the brake caliper where it exerts inward pressure against the piston or pistons. The Acura brake caliper action moves the pads against the spinning brake rotor, and the resulting friction stops the vehicle.

True enough, vehicles that are geared up with high performance engines and ultra-efficient braking systems have proved to be veritable triumphs in the industry. As with Acura, the production of quality parts like the Acura brake caliper guarantees the company, not just the front row seat on the stage of success, but the center stage.
