W6A RADIAL MOUNT CALIPER
Caliper Highlights:
W6A forged six piston calipers comfortably
deliver heavy duty stopping power for the road,
track, or back country trail. The W6A
incorporates purebred race technology into a
body design with widespread adaptability. Radial
mounting, two options for piston volume, and a
rotor diameter range from 12.19" to 15.00" give
this caliper the versatility necessary to suit all
types of heavy weight brake requirements.
The W6A body is the product of FEA computer
design and stress flow forging technology. FEA
technology allows the designer to test the prototype model in
a computer environment to determine the optimal structural
design within the dimensional parameters of the component. Stress flow
forging produces a part with the internal grain structure of the metal aligned in the direction of the flow of the body
contour. The results are a caliper with superior clamping efficiency and ultimate strength against fatigue, stresses, and
distortion under load.
The W6A generates big brake clamping force with six differential bore stainless steel pistons. Stainless steel is used
for its high resistance to corrosion and low thermal conductivity that reduces the heat transfer from the pads. The
differential bore pattern balances pad loading against mechanical influences and changes in temperature over the
length of the pad to help maintain even pad wear. High temperature bore seals provide long service life in hard braking
environments and maintain their resilience to provide positive piston retraction on release. Two options for overall
piston volume make it simple to match the calipers with master cylinder output and rear caliper size for correct bias
proportioning.
The performance and durability of the W6A is further enhanced with SRS bridge plates, snap-ring locked pad retainer
pins, recessed two-piece bleed screw assemblies and dampen mounted fluid transfer tubes. SRS bridge plates
eliminate all bridge wear caused by pad gouging to extend the service life of the caliper. The spring-loaded action of
the plates also eliminates pad rattle and other harsh noise by damping the engagement harmonics that can contribute
to pad squeal. Snap ring clips lock the pad pins in place to provide positive retention and allow easy service access
without caliper removal. The two-piece bleed screws protect the caliper body from damage that can occur from over
tightening the screw. The bleeds are also recess mounted for protection against impact and debris. They are easily
replaced should they become worn. The fluid tubes are dampen mounted to protect them from fatigue or damage from
vibration or debris. Finally, the calipers are anodized in high luster black to protect them from corrosion and maintain
their high-tech appearance inside the wheel. The W6A is also available with a gloss red finish and other custom
Wilwood colors by order.
