2. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   Brake pads convert the kinetic energy of a vehicle to thermal energy through friction. Two brake pads are contained in the brake with their friction surfaces facing the rotor. [1] When the brakes are hydraulically applied, the caliper clamps or squeezes the two pads together onto the spinning rotor to slow and stop the vehicle.

3. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disc brakes. Loss of stopping power, or fade, can be caused by friction fade, mechanical fade, or fluid fade.

4. Brake lining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

   For that reason, consumers should ensure that the new brake pads installed are those specified or supplied by the vehicle's manufacturer. Brake pads should always be replaced in pairs on both sides of a vehicle, as the different lining thicknesses (and possibly material types) will cause uneven braking, making the vehicle pull in the direction ...

5. Brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

   SLF: Brake Fluid Reservoir RF: Splitter braking FS: Parking Brake. Frictional brakes are most common and can be divided broadly into "shoe" or "pad" brakes, using an explicit wear surface, and hydrodynamic brakes, such as parachutes, which use friction in a working fluid and do not explicitly wear. Typically the term "friction brake" is used to ...

6. Electromagnetic clutches and brakes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_clutches...

   In an electromagnetic brake, the north and south pole is created by a coil shell and a wound coil. In a brake, the armature is being pulled against the brake field. (A-3) The frictional contact, which is being controlled by the strength of the magnetic field, is what causes the rotational motion to stop.

   Stopping on a snowboard was easier, but I loved having ski poles to propel me across flat surfaces. Growing up in Florida, my winters involved ocean plunges in bathing suits, not skiing in snowsuits .
