This brake caliper is a revolutionary product by its mix of lightweight and high rigidity realized thanks to its aluminum support bracket and its brand-new structure connecting cylinder and support. The caliper is also designed with a large surface which allows a sophisticated design. In addition to that, the taper wear has been reduced to 1/5 of existing products, and the caliper also produces less noise. This product also takes into consideration adaptability to different automobiles. We aim to make it the flagship product of Akebono's disc brake calipers.

This is a new structure brake caliper developed for different models with the same structure as Type A.

This opposed piston type brake caliper, which reliability was proven by its use in high performance cars, is equipped with the electric parking brake system. It is small in size and light in weight as we use aluminum as the main material for the brake body. We aim to make it the flagship product of Akebono's electric parking brake for high performance cars.

This brake consists of a brand-new structure light-weighted brake caliper with high rigidity and a motor gear unit. The mounting position of the motor gear unit is specially designed to have the optimal weight balance and superior vibration resistance. This product has the same characteristics than the new structure floating type disc brake caliper, which allow us to unify the design of front and rear brakes.

Regular electric parking brake models have a structure where one motor's output is transmitted to one piston, while our product is based on a unique structure where one motor's output can be transmitted to two pistons via two spindle mechanisms. Compared to the same category of existing volume-produced products from other manufacturers, this new electric parking brake generates a clamping force which is more than doubled.

This electric parking drum brake has been developed in consideration of its compatibility with existing types of drum brakes. It consists of a standard structure drum brake and a motor gear unit. This product also has high adaptability to different vehicle types, from kei-cars (the smallest highway-legal passenger cars in Japan) to small-sized trucks. We aim to make it the flagship product of Akebono's electric parking brake for drum brakes.

A service brake is the system that is designed to slow down the vehicle and bring it to a stop. This electromechanical brake operates the service brake by using the electric power and controlling its brake piston mechanically. We have developed this product in order to meet the needs of electric and autonomous vehicles. Though the electromechanical brake has not been adopted by vehicle manufacturers yet, Akebono aims at early commercialization of this product by using our wealth of experience in research and development of this type of brakes.
