The brake disc is a vital part of the vehicle braking system. It works by converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat through friction with the brake pads, facilitating vehicle deceleration and stopping.
Designed with an optimized structure for heat dissipation, it effectively reduces the risk of brake fade caused by overheating during continuous braking.
Precise Machining
Precisely machined to ensure a smooth surface and accurate dimensions, which helps to achieve even friction with brake pads and stable braking performance.
The contour or parameters of a brake disc patch is determined by its diameter. In vehicle testing, multiple discs are mounted or stacked over one another, requiring laboratory equipment specialized for machining vehicle components. A compact computer or robotic arm can be used to automate precise tasks such as fastening each interlocked pair or modifying the outside and inner diameters of rings to be concentric. For measuring these intersections a disk caliper equipped with a narrowing handle is ideal.
Common problem
What materials are brake discs made of?
Commonly made of cast iron, some high - performance discs use carbon - ceramic composites. Cast iron offers durability and good heat dissipation, while carbon - ceramic is lighter and more heat - resistant.
How to tell if a brake disc is worn out?
Signs include vibrations in the brake pedal, longer stopping distances, and visible grooves or excessive thinning. A mechanic can also measure its thickness to determine wear.
Can a damaged brake disc affect driving safety?
Yes, a damaged or worn - out brake disc can significantly reduce braking performance, increasing the risk of accidents. It's important to address any issues promptly.
