Amsted Automotive will showcase its advanced brake piston manufacturing for motor-on-caliper (MOC) applications at the 2025 SAE Brake Colloquium, highlighting its leadership in the fast-growing vehicle brake technology sector.
Key Highlights
- U.S.-based manufacturing using locally sourced steel ensures supply chain security.
- Net-forming expertise delivers one-piece brake pistons with complex geometry.
- Enhanced reliability by eliminating leak paths in multi-piece designs.
- Process efficiency optimizes material use and tooling for cost-effective production.
- Regional capacity supports high-volume programs in North America.
Leadership in Motor-on-Caliper Technology
Amsted’s brake pistons are designed for hybrid, brake-by-wire, and electrified systems. Leveraging decades of precision engineering, the company uses proprietary net-forming capabilities to produce pistons that integrate seamlessly with electric and hybrid drive systems. This results in superior performance and unmatched reliability, critical for the rapidly evolving MOC segment.
Advantages of Amsted’s Manufacturing
Unlike most North American suppliers, Amsted manufactures brake pistons in the U.S., minimizing tariff risks and supply chain delays. Its cold-forming processes and advanced tooling design ensure high-volume production with reduced material waste and precise tolerances. This capability extends to both MOC and traditional large and small cup brake caliper pistons, maintaining consistent quality across applications.
Visit Amsted at SAE Brake Colloquium
Attendees can explore Amsted’s full range of brake piston solutions at booth #214 during the 43rd Annual SAE Brake Colloquium & Exhibition, held September 21–24, 2025, at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
