Description

What does a brake caliper carrier slide do?

This brake caliper carrier slide serves as a critical guide component that allows the disc brake caliper to slide axially on its carrier. In floating-type caliper systems, this part facilitates the back-and-forth movement necessary to transfer braking force evenly across the disc surface, ensuring stable and predictable deceleration.

Vehicle and system compatibility

This component is designed for heavy commercial vehicle applications and is compatible with Meritor systems. It is engineered to withstand the intense thermal and mechanical stresses encountered during heavy-duty braking cycles.

Installation and maintenance guidance

Maintenance of the slide pins and carrier assembly is essential for preventing uneven pad wear or caliper sticking. Technicians should inspect these components during routine brake service to ensure smooth axial travel and proper fitment within the 22.5" caliper assembly.

System performance and selection

Selecting the correct guide pin ensures the integrity of the entire air disc brake system.

OE cross-reference

4122018 (Brake Caliper Carrier Slide) is the equivalent of the Meritor OE number. This part directly replaces Meritor OE number 68321281.
