The press-fitting assembly 130 can perform press-fitting processing when the bushing body 800 and the caliper body 400 maintain a straight line, so that the bushing body 800 is accurately assembled on the caliper body 400.

[0046] In some examples, the first rotary joint 330 and the second rotary joint 620 are both LX88M-11581CK joints, which can supply air to the main plate 240 and the feeding gear 610 during their rotation.

The rack body 740 on the outside of the connecting plate 720 is meshed with the clamping gear 750. When the rack body 740 slides outward, the clamping gear 750 expands the clamping plate 760 to both sides.
