I have downloaded the [brake pad fitment instruction](https://www.ate.co.za/documents/Brake%20Pad%20Fitment%20leaflet.pdf) from the ATE site and have discovered the third type of caliper - the **Fist Caliper**. I know that the **Floating Caliper** and the **Fixed Caliper** are. There are a lot information about them on the internet, for example the good demonstration video: [Fixed vs Floating Caliper](https://youtu.be/_A5KeRzrAqk?t=6).

But I can't found the good **Fist Caliper** explanation.

One document I have found - [Brake caliper types](https://pagid.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Caliper-types.pdf), but it doesn't explain the difference between **Fist** and **Floating** calipers.

I own the **Opel Astra H** by 2011 year of production, with stock ATE brakes, so I want to understand, what calipers it has (definitely not "Fixed Caliper"), and therefore, what part of ATE manual I should follow.

**The questions**: how the **Fist Caliper** works and how it is different from the **Floating Caliper**?
