Repair kit, brake caliper: suitable for Scania

Date: Monday 21 March 2022

Art. no.: 1.35057 replaces 1906779

The main task of the brake caliper is to convert the pneumatic pressure in the braking system into a mechanical force – in order to reduce the vehicle's speed.

In the case of the pneumatically actuated disc brake, the piston rod of the brake cylinder is set in motion. Actuation of the piston rod on the brake caliper causes the inner brake pad to be pressed against the brake disc with high clamping force. With the reaction force, the outer pad is also pressed against the disc by moving the brake caliper. The vehicle brakes.
