Rear Brake Caliper with Electronic Parking

Caliper for car brakes is a mechanical device that measures the thickness of the brake pads and the rotor. It is used to ensure that the brake pads are wearing evenly and that there is enough material left to stop the vehicle safely. The caliper works by using a set of jaws that are placed on either side of the rotor. The jaws then measure the distance between them and provide a reading that indicates the thickness of the brake pads and rotor. This information is used by mechanics to determine when the brakes need to be serviced or replaced.
