What is the brake pad?
Car brake pad is a small piece used in the brake system of vehicles and has the task of producing friction necessary to slow down or stop the vehicle. The piece consists of a mixture of ferrite, carbon, silica, aluminum silicate, and resistant fibers that, with pressure and friction in the middle of the brake disc, make friction and the vehicle quickly or reduces the speed of the vehicle. The brake pad is very important for better car brake safety and efficiency and should be regularly reviewed and replaced to keep the brake performance optimized.
This piece is one of the most important components of the brake system that starts when you press the brake pedal. As you can see and know that the car wheels are strangely rotated at high speeds, and it requires a strong pressure to stop all four wheels and stand. The brake pad is exposed to friction and heat more than any other piece. The friction rate of this piece with the bowl and the brake disc is such that it stops the car in seconds.
How the brake pad works
Below the brake pad performance is briefly described: Press the brake pedal: When the driver presses the brake pedal, the force is transferred to the main brake cylinder. Hydraulic pressure: In the brake cylinder, this force is converted to hydraulic pressure. 2. Pressure transfer to pistons: Hydraulic pressure is transmitted to brake calipers through brake pipes. In each caliper, the oil pressure is applied to the hydraulic pistons. 2. Pressure of pads on the disc or brake bowl: Hydraulic pistons push brake pads to the brake disc (in discs) or brake bowl (in bowl cars). Creating friction and reducing speed: The friction between the pad and the brake or brake bowl converts the car's kinetic energy into heat and reduces the speed and stop of the vehicle.
Features of standard brake pads
Standard brake pads must have the following features:
Materials
The standard brake pad must be made of high quality materials that can withstand extreme abrasion and heat.
The material must be compatible with the brake disc or drum to prevent excessive sound or vibration.
Some brake pads contain certain materials such as ceramics or metal that can improve the function of the system under certain conditions.
Performance
The standard brake pad must provide sufficient and uniform braking power over a range of conditions, including driving in the city, driving on the highway and a sudden stop.
Should act without excessive noise or tremor.
It should be somewhat resistant to smoothness and its braking power will not be reduced by long -term warming or use.
durability The standard brake pad should last until a significant mileage. To be uniformly eroded to prevent rough abrasion or groove. Adaptation The brake pad must be compatible with the car model and its brake system. Installing it should be easy and do not require any special tools or expertise. Safety The brake pad must be made in accordance with all related safety standards. The pads should be free of any defects or defects that can disrupt the brake function. The standard brake pad must have a mark that represents the manufacturer, the piece number and the production date.
