2. Disc brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

   The brake pads must usually be replaced regularly (depending on pad material and driving style), and some are equipped with a mechanism that alerts drivers that replacement is needed, such as a thin piece of soft metal that rubs against the disc when the pads are too thin causing the brakes to squeal, a soft metal tab embedded in the pad ...

3. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   The brake pad and disc (now both having the friction material), then "stick" to each other, providing the friction that stops the vehicle. In disc brakes, there are usually two brake pads per disc rotor, they both function together. These are held in place and actuated by a caliper affixed to the wheel hub or suspension upright. Racing calipers ...

4. Brake lining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

   These pads have high iron content and will usually outperform any other pad used with iron discs. Though these high μ pads wear themselves and the discs down more quickly, they are nevertheless a good cost effective alternative to more exotic/expensive materials. In this view of an automobile disc brake, the brake pad is the black material ...

   R90 calls for linings to be tested for speed sensitivity, cold performance, and replacement Brake pads and brake shoes are permitted to deviate from the frictional characteristics of their original-equipment counterparts by not more than 15%. [2] In addition, R90 requires tamper-evident, sealed packaging for replacement brake linings. [1]

7. Brake wear indicator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_wear_indicator

   A brake wear indicator is used to warn the operator of a vehicle that the brake pad is in need of replacement. The main area of use for this is on motor vehicles with more than three wheels. However brake wear indicators are also useful for brake pads in industrial applications, including wind turbines and cranes. [1] [2]
