ABSTRACT:
A disc brake caliper comprises a cast body including an inboard support, an outboard support, a pair of spaced parallel bridge tension members and a central bridge compression member, with the one ends of the bridge members connected to the inboard support and their other ends connected to the outboard support. The outboard support includes a pair of transverse interconnected tension members with their outer ends connected to the bridge members and an inclined rib member extending from the central bridge member and connected to the junction of the pair of tension members. The caliper body further includes a cast cylindrical socket arranged inwardly of the bridge members and extending through the inboard support. A cylinder piston insert is retained within the socket. A piston is inserted within the cylinder and has a sleeve of elastomeric material bonded to its exterior cylindrical surface and is adapted to yieldably and sealingly engage the brake cylinder insert.
