Abstract:
A disc brake caliper assembly comprising:a caliper housing including a first housing part formed of deformed sheet material, a second housing part formed of deformed sheet material detachably coupled to said first housing part, and a first cylinder portion coupled to said first housing part, said first cylinder portion having a first piston chamber with a first fluid inlet opening fluidly coupled to said first piston chamber and a first piston receiving opening, said first cylinder portion being an independent component from said first housing part; a mounting portion formed of deformed sheet material having a pair of mounting sections non-movably fixed to said first housing part and said first cylindrical portion such that said mounting portion, said first housing part, and said first cylindrical portion are separable as a unit from said second housing part; first and second friction members coupled to said caliper housing to form a rotor receiving slot therebetween, at least said first friction member being movably coupled to said first housing part; and a first piston movably coupled in said first piston chamber of said first cylindrical portion to move said first friction member between a release position and a braking position.
