Product Line Details: Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line focuses on providing semi-assembled calipers that include key components such as pistons and seals, but exclude pads and mounting hardware. This approach allows for easier installation and maintenance while ensuring quality materials like cast iron and phenolic pistons are used for durability and heat resistance. The 141.79009 model fits within this line, offering a fixed caliper design suitable for vehicles requiring trailing axle brake components.

Technical Specifications and Features

This Centric caliper features a 64mm piston diameter with four phenolic pistons, which help reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid, improving overall braking reliability. The caliper casting is made from cast iron, providing strength and resistance to wear. It includes a bleeder screw with a 7/16"-24 thread size for easy brake fluid bleeding and abutment clips to secure the brake pads properly. The caliper is finished in gray and designed with a mounting hole diameter of 20mm (0.787 inches) to fit specific vehicle applications. The inlet thread diameter matches the bleeder screw size at 7/16"-24, ensuring compatibility with standard brake lines.
