What is wheel disc brakes?

1

mode of action

Briefly manner similar brake disc brake mode of action of the conventional bicycle, the caliper by the interaction with the brake pads on the brake disk linked to a wheel during braking, until the wheel stops turning.

advantages

* good heat dissipation. In the rugged mountain road, difficult to brake quickly cause a recession caused by brake failure.

· disc brake systems the reaction rate is faster, the high frequency of braking action to do, and thus meet the needs of more ABS (antilock brake system).

· Average braking force, the braking force will not let the driver due to uncontrollable panic generated.

· drainage brakes better, because the water or sediment may reduce the adverse situation of the brakes.

· disc brake of a simple structure, is relatively easy to repair.

you know

· brake pads wear during use larger, usually should pay attention to check, if necessary when replacement.

· Today, most popular family cars have such brakes. For the race car, the braking performance can be optimized by increasing caliper brakes or the like to replace a larger conversion means.

· brake fluid needs to be replaced regularly to ensure performance, service intervals please stayMeaning maintenance manual for your vehicle.

* configuration table also belong ventilated disc disc brake, better heat dissipation.

Technology Principle

controlled by a hydraulic disc brake, the disc brake main components the brake cylinder, brake caliper, tubing and the like. Producing a brake disk is fixed to the steel and axle rotating with a wheel. Cylinder fixed to the base of the brake. Two brake pads on the brake caliper (Brake Lining) respectively mounted on both sides of the brake disc. Hydraulically acting piston cylinder tubing conveyed, push brakes friction brake pressure to the brake disc occurs.

disc brake brake disc exposed to air, so that the disc brake has excellent heat dissipation properties, made when the vehicle brakes or multiple brakes at high speed in a short time, performance of the brake is less likely to decline , enabling the car to get a better braking effect, to enhance the safety of the vehicle. And because of the rapid reaction disc brakes, the braking action has the ability to do high frequency, many car models with disc brake system with ABS and VSC, TCS with other systems, such systems need to meet the needs of rapid braking.

feeling when the brakes are very important. Normal braking system when the brakes, the pedal feel strong, the car should be stopped smoothly in a straight line immediately. When the vehicle shake or severe side toward the oblique, or feel the pedal reaction insensitive, soft when it should attract the attention of the owners.

Some of abnormal sound due to the friction plate and the gasket produced by the interaction of its back surface. Not low speedA slight abnormal sound emitted in the case of using the brakes, or brakes may be because the sheet edge wear. In addition, if the brake temperature is too high, there will be smoke and odor issue, and will obviously feel soft brakes, brake systems are mostly caused by long-lasting use.

the history of

disc brakes first in the 1950s appeared on the car. Because of their good braking effect, and easier to maintain than the previous drum brakes, it has become the darling of the team. Disc brakes are also easy to maintain a low temperature. Automotive brake tend to generate a lot of friction and heat; this heat will reduce the braking performance. Disc brake with the vent, the heat can be quickly dissipated. Today, most cars are at least equipped with disc brakes front tire – equipped with disc brakes on all four tires most cars.

racing technology has been leading the automobile manufacturing technology advances. Most daily use vehicles using iron disc brakes, but the car brake material was lighter and more durable. In the past, cars have used ceramic brakes, brake but now this material only in some of the luxury sports car. Many teams have begun to use carbon as a material brake. Their quality ultra-light, powerful features, but expensive, this has yet to brake the car for daily use.
