French term or phrase: chape
Any idea what part this is in a disc brake system?

Le corps d’étrier est raccordé de manière coulissante à la chape par deux colonnettes de guidage qui s’étendent axialement chacune au moins partiellement dans un des logements de la chape.

Et une autre référence de Bosch, ici c'est la chape (14) = carrier, toujours.

Non seulement le brevet en anglais utilise le terme carrier plutôt que yoke mais le terme colonnette est lui aussi absent en français alors que c'est le terme technique habituel, plutôt que boulon ou axe de guidage. On dirait que la terminologie varie très concrètement entre les brevets et les documents techniques courants ! D'où l'intérêt d'avoir ta confirmation quant au type de document que tu traduis.

mounting


Explanation:
It's just another word for the bit that holds the pads in position (and in this case, as it's a floating system, that allows them to move as required).

According to Wikipedia: la chape is the "pièce de fonderie supportant les plaquettes et fixant le frein complet sur le véhicule"

agree  Kim Metzger: I prefer Schtroumph's "carrier" to "yoke". Same idea as mounting. https://www.my-cardictionary.com/brake/disc-brake.html

yoke (body)


Explanation:
Le frein à disque est un système utilisant un disque, fixé sur le moyeu de la roue, et des plaquettes, venant frotter de chaque côté du disque. Les plaquettes sont maintenues dans un étrier (frein fixe) ou une chape (frein coulissant), fixés au véhicule.

8.12. Front Wheel Brake Check and Adjustment It is recommended to have the following work made by a special service. For the front wheel hydraulic brake, the brake plates are self-adjusting. Due to wet, dirty or wear the brake plates can become hardly movable in the disk brake yoke body after long use.

The Disc Brake Yoke is an essential component for ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of your vehicle's braking system.
The Disc Brake Yoke's primary function is to connect the disc brake caliper to the brake pad, allowing for precise and reliable braking action. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that the braking force is evenly distributed, preventing uneven wear and tear on the brake pads and promoting longer pad life.

disagree  Schtroumpf: Yoke est correct àmha. Body n'a rien à y faire. Les références arrivent pêle-mêle sans faire de lien entre chape et yoke. Voir plutôt http://mecamobichon.free.fr/cours/glossaire_francais_anglais... // Votre post du 16/02 est étonnamment hors sujet.

bracket


Explanation:
Brake Caliper Bracket

The brake caliper bracket is a metal component that mounts the brake caliper to the vehicle's suspension system, allowing it to move freely while maintaining proper alignment with the brake rotor. The bracket also serves as a mounting point for the brake pads. Over time, the brake caliper bracket can become worn or damaged, potentially leading to uneven brake pad wear or reduced braking performance.
https://nubrakes.com/blog/car-brake-glossary/

Peugeot (which calls them both chape d'étrier and support d'étrier) seems to call the things 'brackets' (see image), as do Ford, Dodge, Jeep, & Chevrolet (the ones I've looked into).
But if the vehicle is of German extraction, people seem to call them 'saddles' (Sattel).

Explanation:
In the automotive sector it translates like this. "Coverage" an alternative that doesn't convince me.

neutral  Schtroumpf: Nous avons déjà plusieurs traductions suffisamment étayées par des références alors que vous n'en donnez aucune. Pouvez-vous donner plus d'informations que votre affirmation "it translates like this" ?
