Floating Callipers......What Are They?

[blueg33]

I keep seeing references to floating callipers. What are they? Do i need them?

Thanks for the info folks, that has answered my query. I was worried that they were something else. I have had an idea that could massively improve brake efficiency and reduce weight (i think). I wanted to make sure flating calipers weren't the same thing. Now i need to check with the patents office before I do some more work on the idea.
