An oversized caliper is often used to contain an oversized brake pad in a huge brake kit. The stated goal of these kits is to increase the surface area of the brake pad that makes contact with the brake rotor, resulting in better braking performance.
The effect of a big brake kit on a braking system is that it lowers the operating temperature of all relevant braking parts of the system. Heat is a brake system's biggest enemy, and it can make them useless over a certain point, as you would well know.
These big brake kits are used in supercars to keep the pads, brake calipers, and fluid cool during hard braking. Because there is more stuff to absorb heat, a bigger mass of the brake pad permits the braking system to take more heat altogether. The braking system keeps cooler for longer because the brake pad can absorb more heat energy.
The brake rotor and "hat" are usually one-piece components in an OEM manufacturing car. They're inexpensive and simple to manufacture. One face of a one-piece steel rotor has a lot of mass. A one-piece rotor has a natural inclination to warp considerably as a result of this. As a result, the pads wear at an angle, reducing the contact area and causing various brake problems. As a result, the hat is nearly typically constructed as a distinct component for most high-end high-performance and race car installations.
The rotor is connected to the hat, which is fastened to either the wheel hub or the end or flange of the axle housing. There's far more to hat than just giving a spot for the rotor to be mounted. The hat's shape allows heat to pass from the brake swept region area to the wheel bearings over a long distance. Wheel bearings will suffer a fast death if this passage is too short.
Although some can use other materials to make caps, aluminum alloy is the most prevalent in motorsports. It's ideal for the job because it's lightweight and swiftly dissipates heat. Furthermore, aluminum minimizes the rotor's weight as well as its heat stress. Because aluminum expands faster than iron or steel, it attempts to balance out the expanding difference caused by the rotor's sometimes-extreme heat.
The "heat path" will be taken into account while designing quality engineered headwear. This permits heat to be diverted away from the bearings, allowing the wheel (which serves as a massive heat sink) to absorb it.
