BOSCH Brake calipers rear and front

What you should know about Bosch brake calipers

Bosch brake calipers have been popular among car owners all over the world for many years. These parts are produced by German company of the same name, the leading supplier of automotive components. The manufacturer can boast many revolutionary inventions and technological solutions that shaped the history of the automotive industry. In particular, the company was the first in the field of brake systems to offer an anti-lock braking system, which was an advanced solution for that time. In 1978 it was included in the equipment of the mass produced Mercedes-Benz W116 S-Class and BMW 7 series.

The factories producing automotive components, and brake system parts in particular, are located in 17 countries. In Europe, these are Poland, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, and Italy.

The company’s catalogue includes the following types of components:

• Standard: these are mostly floating calipers. They are the most common. Such calipers fully comply with the standard equipment specifications.
• eXchange: this is the remanufactured range. These components are comparable to new parts in terms of reliability and performance. They are a perfect choice if you want to save money, or if the brake calipers for your vehicle are out of production.
• Zero Offset Harmonized: this product line is made up of parts used by car manufacturers as factory-installed components. They are notable for their long lifespan, ensure silent operation of the brakes, and reduce vibrations occurring during braking.

All Bosch brake calipers are tested in extreme conditions. They are checked for resistance to moisture, dirt, and thawing agents. In addition, the new products are tested for efficiency in snow and icy conditions: for example, at their winter test centre in Sweden, with a total area of 550 ha.

High-quality raw materials and modern technologies are used in manufacturing the parts. For instance, the housings of the calipers are often made of aluminium, which allows for an optimum weight-to-strength ratio.
