Disc Brake System: Description
The disc brake system consists of the following components:
- Disc Brake Pads - Applies mechanical output force from the hydraulic brake calipers to friction surfaces of brake rotors.
- Disc Brake Rotors - Uses mechanical output force applied to friction surfaces from the disc brake pads to slow speed of tire and wheel assembly rotation.
- Disc Brake Pad Hardware - Secures disc brake pads firmly in proper relationship to the hydraulic brake calipers; enables a sliding motion of brake pads when mechanical output force is applied.
- Disc Brake Caliper Hardware - Provides mounting for hydraulic brake caliper and secures the caliper firmly in proper relationship to caliper bracket. Enables a sliding motion of the brake caliper to the brake pads when mechanical output force is applied.
