Abstract
A hydraulic caliper assembly includes a caliper brake housing including two opposing pairs of two piston assemblies, each of the pairs of two piston assemblies adapted to place a respective stator assembly of a pair of stator assemblies in a braking position, where the caliper brake housing is a unitary, cast component having an internal fluid porting system fluidly coupling each of the piston assemblies with a source of hydraulic fluid, and where each of the piston assemblies have a common configuration.
Claims15
A hydraulic caliper assembly comprising
- a caliper brake housing including two opposing pairs of two piston assemblies, each of the pairs of two piston assemblies adapted to place a respective stator assembly of a pair of stator assemblies in a braking position,
- wherein the caliper brake housing is a unitary, cast component having an internal fluid porting system fluidly coupling each of the piston assemblies with a source of hydraulic fluid, and
- wherein each of the piston assemblies have a common configuration.
A method of manufacturing a caliper brake housing for a hydraulic caliper assembly, the method comprising
- providing a casting core model having a solid porting system component, wherein the solid porting system replicates a desired internal fluid porting system to be formed within a caliper brake housing, and
- casting the caliper brake housing with the casting core model, such that the caliper brake housing retains the internal fluid porting system of a hollow configuration.
