Nowadays, the safety performance of automobiles is getting more and more attention. Cars are also equipped with more and more brake assist systems to improve driving safety. The two most basic components in the braking system-brake discs and brake pads are the key to braking the vehicle. Today, we will specifically discuss car brake pads, which will escort your car's safety.
A disc brake consists of a brake disc connected to the wheel and a brake caliper located on its edge. When the brake pedal is depressed, the piston in the brake master cylinder is pushed to build up pressure in the brake oil circuit. The pressure is transmitted to the brake cylinder piston on the brake caliper through the brake fluid. After stepping on, the piston of the brake cylinder will move outwards and push the brake pads to clamp the brake disc, thereby generating friction between the brake pads and the brake disc, thereby reducing the wheels.
Automobile brake pad manufacturers tell you the hazards of assembling low-quality brake pads:
1. Inferior products generally come from small manufacturers and small workshops, so the brake pads produced do not have any quality and after-sale guarantees.
2. Due to the use of scrap and corners, the quality of the brake pads produced is not good enough. During severe braking, the brake pads are likely to break and cause brake failure.
3. The use of unqualified materials may increase its thermal attenuation and thermal conductivity, thereby reducing the braking effect of the vehicle.
4. Inferior brake pads will increase the wear of the brake disc, and even damage the brake disc during use. Long-term operation will not only reduce the service life of the brake disc, but also bring safety hazards to daily driving.
It can be seen from the above analysis that the brake pads play a key role when the vehicle is braking. Structurally, brake pads are usually composed of steel plates, insulation layers and friction blocks. The steel plate must be painted to prevent rust. The insulation layer is made of non-conductive material, because braking friction will generate a lot of heat. If this heat energy is transferred to the brake caliper and finally to the oil passage in the brake cylinder, it will cause the temperature of the brake fluid to rise and produce boiling bubbles. , Forming air resistance in the brake oil circuit, resulting in a decrease in vehicle braking force. The friction block is composed of friction material and adhesive. When the vehicle is braking, it will squeeze the friction block and the brake disc to generate friction and generate braking force to achieve the purpose of braking.
