Method for manufacturing callipers for disc brakes with forced cap

Abstract

A method for manufacturing callipers for disc brakes of the type comprising a body in which cylindrical chambers are formed inside which pistons run bearing pads intended for acting on the disc of the brake during the braking step, the method comprising the steps of: providing a body provided with a slit intended for receiving the disc of the brake and with a pair of cavities aligned transversely to the slit on opposite sides of the slit, which cavities are intended for forming a pair of cylindrical chambers, one of said cavities having a first opening on the slit and a second opening to the outside of the body at which there is a tapered portion with a decreasing section towards the outside of the body, closing said second opening with a cap applied in the cavity by the slit, the cap having a tapered portion that is forced at the tapered portion of the second opening to form a cylindrical chamber of the calliper.
