Functioning
This is a floating type calliper.
It takes advantage of the action and reaction prin-
ciple to obtain the thrust for both pads.
The body and the reaction plate body work inte-
grally and can move axially with respect of the
fixed plate that is integral to the strut.
The pistons, forced by pressure to push the pad to
the disk, cause the reaction plate to push in turn
the other pad towards the disc.
