Description
What does a brake caliper tappet do?
This brake caliper tappet and dust boot is a vital component for maintaining the integrity of air disc brake caliper assemblies. By sealing the pushrod or piston area, it prevents moisture, dust, and road debris from entering the sensitive internal mechanisms, ensuring smooth movement and preventing premature wear of the braking system.Application and fitment
Designed for heavy commercial vehicle applications, this component ensures the longevity of the caliper's internal components. The assembly is specifically engineered to withstand high-pressure environments and harsh road conditions typical in heavy-duty transport services.Installation and maintenance
For professional installation, ensure the boot is seated correctly within the caliper groove to prevent shifting. It is recommended to inspect the boot for cracks or hardening during every pad replacement to avoid potential leaks or mechanical binding. Applying a suitable lubricant during installation helps maintain the flexibility of the material.System performance
Proper maintenance of these components helps prevent uneven brake wear and ensures consistent braking performance across the entire axle.Technical Specifications
