Abstract
A self-energizing brake caliper comprises a caliper bracket fixed to a vehicle frame, a first caliper arm rotatably connected to the caliper bracket, a second caliper arm rotatably connected to the caliper bracket, an inboard brake pad, and an outboard brake pad. The first caliper arm is rotatably connected to the outboard brake pad at a first position and is configured to press against the outboard brake pad at the first position by receiving the power of an actuator at the second position which is inboard side. The second caliper arm is rotatably connected to the inboard brake pad at a third position and is configured to press against the inboard brake pad at the third position by receiving the power of an actuator at the fourth position which is inboard side.

- an inboard brake pad;
- and
- an outboard brake pad;
- wherein the first caliper arm is rotatably connected to the outboard brake pad at a first position and is configured to press against the outboard brake pad at the first position by receiving the power of an actuator at the second position which is inboard side;
- and
- wherein the second caliper arm is rotatably connected to the inboard brake pad at a third position and is configured to press against the inboard brake pad at the third position by receiving the power of an actuator at the fourth position which is inboard side.
A self-energizing brake caliper comprising:
- a caliper bracket fixed to a vehicle frame;
- a first caliper arm rotatably connected to the caliper bracket;
- a second caliper arm rotatably connected to the caliper bracket;
- an inboard brake pad;
- and
- an outboard brake pad;
- wherein the first caliper arm receives the power of an actuator at 1-1 position, is rotatably connected to the caliper bracket at 2-1 position, is rotatably connected to the outboard brake pad at 3-1 position which is between the 1-1 position and the 2-1 position, and is configured to press against the outboard brake pad at the 3-1 position by the power of the actuator;
