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.
