DynaPro four piston radial mount calipers combine pure race technology with a new generation of Wilwood performance enhancements. The DynaPro combines the versatility of radial mounting with a sleek profile, superior strength, and extreme durability in adverse conditions. With an overall weight as light as 3.58 pounds, the DynaPro has become a favored choice for a broad range of sports, rally, and off-road driving applications.
The strength of the DynaPro is a combination of process and design. The process of stess-flow forging re-aligns the internal grain structure of the metal to flow within the contour of the caliper body. This produces a part with superior strength over machined block billet parts or castings. The FEA generated body design features a radial transition between the piston bores and caliper bridges. This eliminates macined steps and shoulders in this critical strength area and substantially increases the resistance against deflection and body separation under high load. Structural deflection and volume displacement testing have proven the efficiency of this innovative design. The bottom line is a firm pedal with outstanding stopping power.
The DynaPro is available in four configurations. Standard calipers for rotors up to 12.19” feature dust-booted aluminum pistons for maximum protection against track or road born debris in low to intermediate temperature applications. A long radius version is available to accommodate rotors up to 13.00”. Competition models use heavy wall stainless pistons to provide addition protection against corrosion and heat transfer from the pads. All DyanPro calipers can also be optioned with Thermlock pistons for maximum thermal protection in sustained high-heat applications. Optional side inlet calipers are available to simplify plumbing with inboard mounted brakes on live axles and independent suspension rears.
Additional Notes
DynaPro calipers use type 7816 pads that are supported from the top by Quick-Clip pad retainers. Quick-Clips allow fast access to the pads for service without the need to dismount the caliper. The Quick-Clip design also allows additional inside radial clearance between the caliper body and the lug hub by eliminating the bottom pad support feet found on other caliper models. Side inlet DynaPros use additionally fortified bridge bolts in place of the Quick-Clips for the ultimate in secure pad retention within high load environments on sprint cars and other extreme duty applications. The DynaPro incorporates other exclusive Wilwood performance enhancements. Stainless SRS bridge plates eliminate caliper bridge wear from pad gouging while dampening noise and vibration during engagement. Internal fluid passages eliminate the need for external crossover tubes and four corner bleed screws allow effective gas evacuation regardless of mounting location.
About Wilwood Engineering
Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures high-performance disc brake systems. Since the company’s inception in 1977 by Bill Wood, we have developed a substantial matrix of brake components and engineering techniques that allow us to quickly and reliably create brake systems for almost any application. Our core ability is the rapid development of custom engineered brake systems using a combination of off-the-shelf and custom components. In addition to designing and manufacturing brakes for all types of competitive motor sports, Wilwood also manufactures brake systems and components for agricultural equipment, industrial applications, utility vehicles, snowmobiles, quads, motorcycles and military vehicles.
With headquarters in Camarillo, California, Wilwood employs approximately 250 people. We have on-shelf stock of more than 300 different brake calipers, 200 rotor designs, 100 master cylinder designs and a wide assortment of brackets, fittings, valves and brake lines. Our off-shelf brake calipers range in size from tiny calipers used on go-carts and light duty industrial equipment, to heavy duty original equipment brakes for the U.S. military Humvee.
Wilwood's engineering department uses the latest computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques in conjunction with finite element analysis, dynamic test and cycle test equipment, to find high-performance and reliability solutions for the most difficult braking tasks. Our extensive inventory of proprietary on-the-shelf components allow us to provide cost-effective solutions for unique brake applications.
Wilwood is ISO 9000 compliant and has extensive experience maintaining quality levels of 100ppm or less for original equipment manufacturers.
