Braking system works

In fact, this is not difficult to understand, to achieve the purpose of the brake racing from the mutual friction, the friction brake pads and brake discs, tire friction with the ground to the safety of vehicles stopped. From the direction in terms of energy conversion is the kinetic energy generated in the vehicle operation to convert the heat generated by friction, so that the vehicle suspended.

Brake lining composition

Simply put, the brake pads is composed of three parts, namely, steel plate, adhesive insulating layer and the friction block of three parts. The role of the steel plate fixed with the installation; bonding insulation layer is composed by the thermal conductivity of the material and its reinforcements, the main role is insulated; friction block is composed of reinforced materials, adhesives and fillers.

Brake lining composition

The friction block, the technical point of view from the formula are mainly four categories, are semi-metallic, non-asbestos organic type, low-metal asbestos type, ceramic type. However, only from the appearance point of view, little difference between these four types of friction block; from the role of point of view, the distinction between the main point is the ability to conduct heat, noise, size, wear the severity of these items.

The role of brake pads

When the driver depresses the brake pedal, the last and final parts of the brake purposes brake pads. So to speak, when a well-functioning brake system, brake fluid, the vehicle braking ability of good and bad are determined by the brake pads. Brake pads the most important role is actually formed with the brake disc friction so the car to slow down or suspended.

Brake pads and maintenance cycle

The quality of brake pads is mainly decided by the friction block, a long period of friction state, so the brake pads will be included in the Lloyd wearing parts. Typically, the service life of brake pads in about 60,000 km, 60,000 km maintenance along with the rest of parts replaced, vehicle maintenance time to repair the master also expressed concern that the use of the brake pads in the remaining periods.
For the thickness of the brake friction blocks are required, most manufacturers will require its thickness shall not be less than 1.2mm, if less than this standard value must be promptly replaced, because the friction block through the thin steel plate and brakes can cause the brake pads direct contact with, will eventually lead to brake failure. In addition, the daily driving when the line must be avoided is a half step on the brake pedal driving the phenomenon.
