4117001 Brake Caliper Tappets Plate Equivalent

What does a brake caliper tappet plate do?

This brake caliper tappet plate serves as a vital structural component within the air disc brake caliper assembly. It facilitates the correct movement and positioning of the brake pads, ensuring that braking forces are distributed evenly across the friction surface. Built with high-strength components, this part is designed to withstand the intense heat and mechanical stress typical of heavy commercial vehicle braking systems.

Compatibility and application

This component is specifically engineered for use in air disc brake caliper systems within the heavy commercial vehicle sector. It works in conjunction with calipers, tappets, and pad plates to maintain system integrity during heavy-duty operation. For precise fitment, always check the compatibility list against your specific vehicle or system requirements.

Installation and maintenance

Maintenance of the caliper assembly requires careful inspection of the tappet plate to prevent uneven pad wear or brake pulsation. Technicians should check for excessive play or surface irregularities during routine brake service intervals. Ensuring a clean and properly seated plate helps maintain optimal pneumatic braking performance and extends the service life of the entire caliper unit.

Troubleshooting and selection

When replacing components in the braking system, selecting a high-quality replacement ensures consistent braking performance and safety. Proper installation of the tappet plate is essential to prevent mechanical noise and ensure smooth piston movement within the air disc system.
