Calipers
High-quality brake calipers for cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles – from OEM quality to retrofit solutions.
In this category you will find brake calipers for various vehicle types and applications – from compact passenger car floating calipers to high-performance fixed calipers for sporty models and motorcycles. The range includes new parts from renowned manufacturers such as Brembo, ATE, TRW, Bosch, Febi Bilstein, Hella Pagid, Zimmermann and Textar. Whether you want to replace a seized brake caliper or renew both calipers on an axle as part of a brake overhaul – you will find tested quality here with fast delivery throughout Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
The brake caliper is a safety-relevant component. A defective or stiff caliper leads to uneven braking performance, one-sided pad wear and, in the worst case, overheating of the brake. That is why it is worth relying on brand quality. At Emparo you get brake calipers that are precisely tailored to the respective vehicle platform – with tested seals, corrosion-protected housings and precisely manufactured pistons. This restores the full braking performance and safety of your vehicle.
Fixed calipers are mainly used in sporty vehicles and motorcycles. They have pistons on both sides of the brake disc and offer particularly direct, even brake force transmission. Floating calipers are the more common design in the passenger car sector: lighter, more compact and with pistons on only one side. They are moved via guide pins and are generally more cost-effective. Which design is right for your vehicle depends on the manufacturer and model – pay attention to the exact specification in the vehicle table when purchasing.
If your vehicle pulls to one side when braking, the brake pads are unevenly worn or you notice a noticeably hot wheel rim after driving, a seized brake caliper could be the cause. Squeaking or grinding noises and a spongy brake pedal also indicate problems. In such cases, you should check the brake caliper and replace it if necessary. It is often recommended to replace both brake calipers on the same axle together to ensure symmetrical braking performance.

Brake calipers are safety-critical components. When purchasing, pay attention to tested quality, corrosion-resistant materials and an exact fit for your vehicle model. After installation, the brake system must be bled. If you are unsure, have the replacement carried out by a specialist workshop. Replacing both brake calipers on the same axle is recommended to ensure balanced braking performance.
