Certainly! The three main types of calipers used in disc brake systems are floating calipers, fixed calipers, and sliding calipers. Floating and sliding calipers are often used interchangeably to describe a design where the caliper moves relative to the rotor, typically having pistons on only one side. Fixed calipers, on the other hand, have pistons on both sides of the rotor and remain stationary, providing more even pressure distribution and generally better performance.
