CALIPER - BOLT

A Caliper Bolt is a key fastener used to securely attach the brake caliper to the mounting bracket or vehicle knuckle in electric two-wheelers and other vehicles. Key Specifications and Features: Material: Commonly made from high-strength alloy steel or stainless steel to withstand brake system forces. Sizes: Typical diameters range from 6mm to 12mm, with lengths varying by application (e.g., 63mm x 10mm or smaller sizes like 6mm diameter with 1-inch length). Thread Type: Standard metric thread (often M6, M8, M10, M12) with fine or coarse pitch depending on vehicle model. Torque Specs: Caliper bolts are torque-critical and require tightening to specified values, for example, ~120 Nm for M12 bolts in aluminium caliper assemblies to ensure secure fitment without damage. Washers: Usually used with flat washers and lock washers or thread-lock compounds to prevent loosening under vibration. Application: Used in hydraulic and mechanical brake calipers for mounting to brackets or knuckles, critical for proper brake function and safety.
