  2. Brake fade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

    Brake fade caused by overheating brake fluid (often called Pedal Fade) can also be reduced through the use of thermal barriers that are placed between the brake pad and the brake caliper piston, these reduce the transfer of heat from the pad to the caliper and in turn hydraulic brake fluid. Some high-performance racing calipers already include ...

  3. Drum brake - Wikipedia

    Drum brake (upper right) with the drum removed (lower left, inside facing up), on the front of a Ford Falcon Sprint A rear drum brake on a Kawasaki W800 motorcycle. A drum brake is a brake that uses friction caused by a set of shoes or pads that press outward against a rotating bowl-shaped part called a brake drum.

    Honda RCB with a front ventilated drum brake from Italian accessories manufacturer Grimeca. Drum brakes have a self servo effect. [11] The most common design is a leading-trailing design. More exotic design had four, eight or sixteen shoes. [4] Some motorcycles used finned and/or vented housings for additional cooling, the first of which was ...

  5. Electric friction brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_friction_brake

    The drum itself is also a wear item and needs to be replaced when certain wear limits have been reached to ensure that it is safe to use. If excessive braking occurs the electromagnet itself can suffer a burn-out through overheating and need to be replaced. However the environment inside the brake drum can be very tough on electric parts.

  6. Disc brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

    Consequently, discs are less prone to the brake fade caused when brake components overheat. Disc brakes also recover more quickly from immersion (wet brakes are less effective than dry ones). [5] Most drum brake designs have at least one leading shoe, which gives a servo-effect. By contrast, a disc brake has no self-servo effect, and its ...

  7. Brake lining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

    The brake lining is that part of the brake pad which actually contacts the metal brake disc (rotor) when the brake is engaged. Using a typical bicycle brake as an example, the backing would be the metal shell which provides mechanical support, and the lining would be the rubbery portion which contacts the rims when the brakes are applied.
