Single piston brake caliper housing and a method of manufacturing a single piston brake caliper housing

A method of manufacturing a brake caliper housing comprising:

• providing the brake caliper housing, the brake caliper housing having
• a first end wall;
• a second end wall disposed opposite the first end wall;
• a transverse wall that extends from the first end wall to the second end wall;
• an interface wall that extends from the first end wall to the second end wall, opposite to the transverse wall, the interface wall cooperating with the first end wall, the second end wall, and the transverse wall to at least partially define a cavity, the interface wall defining a hole;
• and
• a roller seat defined in the transverse wall adapted to support a roller;
• inserting a cutting tool through the hole in the interface wall, the cutting tool adapted to machine surfaces of the brake caliper housing;
• and
• machining the roller seat with the cutting tool such that flat abutment surfaces are formed to accommodate an end of the roller.

A brake caliper housing comprising:

• a first end wall;
• a second end wall disposed opposite the first end wall;
• a transverse wall that extends from the first end wall to the second end wall;
• an interface wall that extends from the first end wall to the second end wall, opposite to the transverse wall, the interface wall cooperating with the first end wall, the second end wall, and the transverse wall to at least partially define a cavity, and defining a hole to provide access to the cavity and sized to receive a cutting tool adapted to machine surfaces around the cavity of the brake caliper housing;
• a roller seat defined in the transverse wall;
• an empty zone defined in the transverse wall between the roller seat and one of the first and second end walls, the empty zone providing a run-off for the cutting tool when machining the roller seat;
• and
• a roller having a body with an end having a polygonal cross-section, the body being accommodated in the roller seat and the end being accommodated in the empty zone.
