Abstract:
A caliper body of a floating-type disk brake includes a cylinder having a cylinder bore into which piston pressing brake pads are disposed against a disk rotor, a bridge extending from the cylinder part including a through-hole, and a claw part formed on a leading end side of the bridge and disposed opposite to the cylinder part. The caliper body of the floating-type disk brake is made in a mold with sprues provided in at least two places spaced apart from each other in a disk rotor circumferential direction on a region corresponding to the claw part. Molten metal is poured from the sprues in at least two places of the mold, and starts to solidify from a side of the cylinder part.
