  2. Brake lining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

    In this view of an automobile disc brake, the brake pad is the black material held by the red brake caliper. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

    Worn brake pads, contaminated brake fluid, faulty brake caliper, faulty master cylinder, loss of vacuum, loss of brake fluid Car pulls to one side when braking Faulty brake caliper, restriction in hydraulic system, brake pad lining(s) contaminated with oil or brake fluid, brake pads not replaced in pairs, brake pad not fitted correctly,

  4. Disc brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

    A floating caliper (also called a "sliding caliper") moves side to side to the disc, along a line parallel to the axis of rotation of the disc; a piston on one side of the disc pushes the inner brake pad until it makes contact with the braking surface, then pulls the caliper body with the outer brake pad so the pressure is applied to both sides ...

  5. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake

    Single-pivot side-pull caliper brakes consist of two curved arms that cross at a pivot above the wheel and hold the brake pads on opposite sides of the rim. These arms have extensions on one side, one attached to the cable, the other to the cable housing. When the brake lever is squeezed, the arms move together and the brake pads squeeze the rim.

  6. 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.

  7. Motorcycle braking systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_braking_systems

    Aprilia Tuono R front brakes have two floating stainless steel discs with sintered pads, and radially mounted, four-piston calipers. Motorcycle braking systems have varied throughout time, as motorcycles evolved from bicycles with an engine attached, to the 220 mph (350 km/h) prototype motorcycles seen racing in MotoGP. Most systems work by ...

  8. Inboard brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inboard_brake

    An inboard brake is an automobile technology wherein the disc brakes are mounted on the chassis of the vehicle, rather than directly on the wheel hubs. Its main advantages are twofold: a reduction in the unsprung weight of the wheel hubs, as this no longer includes the brake discs and calipers; and braking torque is applied directly to the chassis, rather than being transferred to it through ...

  9. Power brakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_brakes

    There, the fluid compresses the caliper pistons, which causes the brake pads to move inboard and contact the rotors. The resulting friction slows the vehicle. This process is largely the same as a manual braking system; the primary difference is the addition of the vacuum booster.
