2. Disc brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

   Subaru Legacy disc brake caliper (twin-piston, floating) removed from its mounting for changing pads. The brake caliper is the assembly that houses the brake pads and pistons. The pistons are usually made of plastic, aluminium or chrome-plated steel. Calipers are of two types, floating or fixed.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_braking_systems

   Aprilia Tuono R front brakes have two floating stainless steel discs with sintered pads, and radially mounted, four-piston calipers. Motorcycle braking systems have varied throughout time, as motorcycles evolved from bicycles with an engine attached, to the 220 mph (350 km/h) prototype motorcycles seen racing in MotoGP.

4. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake

   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. Disc brakes may be actuated mechanically by cable, or hydraulically.

5. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   Brake caliper assembly usually consisting of one or two hollow aluminum or chrome-plated steel pistons (called caliper pistons), a set of thermally conductive brake pads and a rotor (also called a brake disc) or drum attached to an axle. The system is usually filled with a glycol-ether based brake fluid (other fluids may also be used).

6. Brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

   A brake disc (or rotor in U.S. English), usually made of cast iron or ceramic, is connected to the wheel or the axle. To stop the wheel, friction material in the form of brake pads (mounted in a device called a brake caliper) is forced mechanically, hydraulically, pneumatically or electromagnetically against both sides of the disc. Friction ...

7. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   In disc brakes, there are usually two brake pads per disc rotor, they both function together. These are held in place and actuated by a caliper affixed to the wheel hub or suspension upright. Racing calipers, however, can utilize up to six pads, with varying frictional properties in a staggered pattern for optimum performance.
