Difference between brake discs and brake pads.

  1. The shape of brake pads and brake discs are different. Brake pad is a long strip of sheet-like parts, while the brake disc of a car is a large disc-shaped part.
  2. Brake pads and brake discs work differently. The brake pads of a car are fixed, while the brake discs of a car are mounted on the tires and will rotate with the rotation of the tires.
  3. The replacement time of brake pads and brake discs is different. Generally, brake pads need to be replaced when the car is driven more than 30,000 km, while the replacement cycle of brake discs will be longer. Generally, there is no need to replace the brake discs because they are not seriously worn out and deformed.

When the car brakes, the brake pads will stick tightly to the brake discs, thus increasing the friction and achieving the purpose of emergency braking of the vehicle. Owners need to regularly check the vehicle’s brake pads and brake discs and replace them in time to avoid affecting the vehicle’s braking and bringing about safety hazards.

Brake disc and brake pad cooperate with each other to reduce the speed or make the car stop by friction. A brake disc is a brake disk with brake pads embedded in a yellow caliper. A brake disc, which is simply a disk, works even when the car is moving. When the caliper clamps the disc and generates braking force, it clamps the disc to slow down or stop the car. Brake discs brake well and are easier to maintain than drum brakes. Brake pads are also called brake skins. In the car braking system, brake pads are the most critical safety component, and all braking effects are basically determined by brake pads, so good brake pads are a safeguard for people and cars. Brake linings mostly consist of steel plates, bonded insulating layer and friction blocks. The steel plate should be coated to prevent rusting. SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker is used to detect the temperature distribution during the coating process to ensure the quality. Among other things, the insulation layer is made of a non-thermally conductive material and thus insulates the heat. The friction block consists of friction material and adhesive, which is squeezed on the brake disc or drum to generate friction when braking, thus achieving the purpose of deceleration and braking of the car. Because of the friction, the friction block will gradually wear out, and most of the brake pads with lower price will wear out faster.
