Braking and Discs
They consist of brake pads, brake discs (rotors), brake calipers and pistons. Disc brakes work when the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure forces the brake pads to squeeze against the rotating brake discs. This creates friction and slows down the vehicle.
The brake rotor (disc) which rotates with the wheel, is clamped by brake pads (friction material) fitted to the caliper from both sides with pressure from the pistons (pressure mechanism) and decelerates the disc rotation, thereby slowing down and stopping the vehicle.
A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc or a rotor to create friction. There are two basic types of brake pad friction mechanisms: abrasive friction and adherent friction.
