2. Disc brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

   The brake disc is the rotating part of a wheel's disc brake assembly, against which the brake pads are applied. The material is typically gray iron , [ 6 ] a form of cast iron . The design of the discs varies.

   Recorded cases of disc brake failures usually involves several kilometers of downhill, combined with small underweight discs. [citation needed] The design and positioning of disc brakes can interfere with pannier racks not designed for them. For this reason, many manufacturers produce "disc" and "non-disc" versions.

   The design only allowed for a single front disc brake so a comparatively large 330 mm disc was mated to a six-piston caliper, a world first on a production bike. [9]: 28 The traditional axial caliper mount began to be unreliable when slick tires were introduced, so motorcycles began adopting radially mounted calipers from Formula One car racing.

5. 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 ...

6. Ausco Lambert disc brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ausco_Lambert_disc_brake

   Thus, the disc tends to pull the ring in the direction that further applies the brake. A shallower cone angle increases the amount of self-energizing effect. Self-energizing brakes are more subject to brake fade , but it appears part of the Ausco Lambert design is to reduce the exponential gain of drum and band brakes, and thus reduce ...

7. Brake - Wikipedia

   Compared to modern disc brakes, drum brakes wear out faster due to their tendency to overheat. The disc brake is a device for slowing or stopping the rotation of a road wheel. A brake disc (or rotor in U.S. English), usually made of cast iron or ceramic, is connected to the wheel or the axle.
