	Caliper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tips of the caliper are adjusted to fit across the points to be measured, the caliper is then removed and the distance read by measuring between the tips with a measuring tool, such as a ruler.
		The caliper's opening is then either measured on a separate ruler and then converted to the actual distance, or it is measured directly on a scale drawn on the map.
		Vernier calipers can measure internal dimensions (using the uppermost jaws in the picture at right), external dimensions using the pictured lower jaws, and depending on the manufacturer, depth measurements by the use of a probe that is attached to the movable head and slides along the centre of the body.

	Wilwood Engineering - GM Metric Caliper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Wilwood's GM Metric Caliper is a direct replacement for the 1978 and later D154 type GM metric caliper.
		The caliper body is a precision casting using a tight grained, high density aircraft alloy.
		Each caliper is fully machined, assembled with high temperature seals, and tested in-house by expert Wilwood technicians to assure top quality and peak performance - the kind of quality and performance you expect from Wiwood.

	AnaLog Services on Caliper Surveys
		A caliper may be used to center or eccenter a tool string (sometimes also used in the same fashion with cased hole tools); a caliper-like arm may carry sensors or a radioactive sealed source.
		Early pulse calipers used several novel schemes to vary the frequency of vacuum tube based oscillators of the time, but most modern pulse calipers simply use a pot actuated by the movable arms to vary the voltage fed to a voltage-to-frequency circuit of some type.
		Pulse calipers are immune to variations in line resistance, so may offer advantages in geothermal or deep logging, though it should be noted that Dowell dc calipers have been used to depths of 23,000 feet.

	Lehigh University - Designing novel brake caliper
		As the fluid presses against the piston, the piston in turn presses in on the brake pads, which press against the brake disc from two sides, creating the friction that stops the wheel.
		It is smaller and lighter than a regular caliper, but still capable of withstanding the 1,000 pounds per square inch of pressure imposed on it by the brake master cylinder.
		Koerner fabricated the new caliper as part of an independent-study project that consisted of a lab and a design class.

		There are two pins that hold the caliper on that are at the top and bottom of the caliper and are recessed into the caliper from the inside.
		On your inside pad that faces the piston of the caliper, use some disk brake quiet and spread a very thin coat of it on the metal part of the brake pad.
		Using your C clamp compress the caliper piston into the caliper until the piston is fully seated into the caliper.

	Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Glossary Ca--Cm
		A caliper brake uses a single assembly to move both brake shoes together, unlike a cantilever brake which has a separate unit on each side of the rim.
		A brake caliper attaches to the bicycle by a single bolt, through the center of the fork crown or the brake bridge on the seat stays.
		A caliper brake in which the main cable runs down the center line of the bicycle, using a yoke to connect to a transverse cable.

	Caliper Science Friction, Gary Goms, Brake & Front End, June 2005
		Although the caliper piston is sturdy enough, a torn rubber boot often exposes the piston to dirt and corrosion.
		In addition, be sure to install new caliper hardware to prevent the caliper from rattling on rough road surfaces and to prevent the brake pads from clicking during light brake application.
		If the caliper has been removed or replaced, it's imperative that new copper washers be installed when the brake hose is re-mounted to prevent air from leaking into the caliper.

	Vernier Caliper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Vernier caliper is an extremely precise measuring instrument; the reading error is 1/20 mm = 0.05 mm.
		In the example above, the 3rd tick mark on the sliding scale is in coincidence with the one above it, so the caliper reading is (21.30 ± 0.05) mm.
		If two adjacent tick marks on the sliding scale look equally aligned with their counterparts on the fixed scale, then the reading is half way between the two marks.

		The retaining pins in the rear calipers have little “hairpins” in the inboard end of each pin, which must be removed before the pin can be tapped out (Figure 4).
		On the rear calipers, the lower mounting bolt is difficult to access.
		The front caliper pistons should be pushed all the way in before installing the dust boots.

		This means they have a single caliper and pad on the outboard side of the disk rotor, and a static inside pad.
		The entire caliper can move on its mounts so when the caliper applies force the the disk, the static pad is pulled agianst the inside of the disk rotor as the caliper moves on its mounts.
		To remove the caliper from the forks, remove the two retaining bolts that hold it in place.

		Place the caliper in some sort of container, as fluid will still be draining.
		Once the dust boot is breached, fine particles of brake dust and dirt from the road as well as water if you drive in the rain, find their way onto the piston and can cause an inner seal failure and system contamination.
		Now, the portion of the boot that seals in the caliper itself should be hanging BELOW the bottom of the piston.

	HF Digital Caliper
		The construction of the caliper is based on an all-stainless-steel measuring frame that, other than the readout, is essentially the same as other caliper designs, including jaws for taking inside measurements and a depth gage.
		I found no instructions packed with the caliper so I assumed that the battery needed to be installed before use.
		The digital caliper uses some kind of linear encoder rather than a rack and pinion, so I would expect it to be immune to this particular failure mode.
