A disc brake caliper is a critical component in vehicles that aids in stopping the car by clamping onto the rotating disc, thus creating friction and slowing down the vehicle. It comprises of a set of pistons which apply pressure on the brake pads, which then rub against the disc to generate the necessary braking force. This mechanism is more efficient than drum brakes and can be found in various vehicles including cars, motorcycles, and bicycles.
