  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.

  4. Disc brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

    A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc (sometimes called a [brake] rotor) [1] to create friction. [2] There are two basic types of brake pad friction mechanisms: abrasive friction and adherent [ further explanation needed ] friction. [ 3 ]

  6. Power brakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_brakes

    Brake calipers are one of the most important parts of a vehicle and are essential for your vehicle's ability to stop. The job of the caliper is to slow the vehicle's wheels using the friction they create against metal discs (rotors). They work by taking the pressure given by the master cylinder to force the pistons against the rotor.

  7. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

    Brake caliper assembly usually consisting of one or two hollow aluminum or chrome-plated steel pistons (called caliper pistons), a set of thermally conductive brake pads and a rotor (also called a brake disc) or drum attached to an axle. The system is usually filled with a glycol-ether based brake fluid (other fluids may also be used).
