Floating caliper brakes are efficient braking systems commonly used in commercial vehicles and heavy machinery. These brakes operate on the principle of “spring-actuated closing,” meaning that the brake pads are automatically pressed into the closed position by spring force to ensure reliable braking performance. Conversely, the opening of the brakes is “hydraulically actuated,” with a hydraulic system designed to retract the brake pads and release the wheel. Thanks to this design, floating caliper brakes provide an excellent combination of safety and efficiency.
