3. Motorcycle braking systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_braking_systems

   Single action calipers have brake pistons that operate on one side only. This type has a floating pin design which allows the piston side of the caliper to push onto the disc surface and pull the other side into contact as well. [11]: 100 Dual action, or opposed calipers, are fixed into position to reduce flex. Dual action have opposed pistons ...

4. Disc brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

   A floating caliper (also called a "sliding caliper") moves side to side to the disc, along a line parallel to the axis of rotation of the disc; a piston on one side of the disc pushes the inner brake pad until it makes contact with the braking surface, then pulls the caliper body with the outer brake pad so the pressure is applied to both sides ...

5. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake

   A hydraulic front disc brake. The disc is held by a six-bolt mount. The caliper is held attached to an IS fork mount via PM adapter. A disc brake consists of a metal disc, or "rotor", attached to the wheel hub that rotates with the wheel. Calipers are attached to the frame or fork along with pads that squeeze the rotors for braking.

   The United States Environmental Protection Agency estimates 23 mpg ‑US (10 L/100 km; 28 mpg ‑imp) highway and 17 mpg ‑US (14 L/100 km; 20 mpg ‑imp) city. Honda MDX (Australia) The first two model years' 3.5-liter V6 engine produces 240 hp (179 kW) and 245 lb⋅ft (332 N⋅m) of torque from 3000 to 5000 rpm.

7. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

   An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. [1] ABS operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface and allowing the driver to maintain more control over the ...

8. Drum brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_brake

   Many rear disc braking systems use a parking brake in which the piston in the caliper is actuated by a cam or screw. This compresses the pads against the rotor. However, this type of system becomes much more complicated when the rear disc brakes use fixed, multi-piston calipers. In this situation, a small drum is usually fitted within or as ...

9. Calipers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calipers

   A vernier caliper clamping on an object. Calipers or callipers are an instrument used to measure the linear dimensions of an object or hole; namely, the length, width, thickness, diameter or depth of an object or hole. The word "caliper" comes from a corrupt form of caliber. [1] [2] [3]
