Brake

We are all aware that pushing down our foot on the brake pedals slows down our vehicle and allows it to stop. It sounds simple right? But mind you, it’s not. If you are to be asked how does this happen, how does your vehicle transmit the force from your leg to its wheels, how does it multiply the force to stop your car, for sure you don’t know how to explain how these things happen. So read on and discover how your car brakes work.

The usual brake system consists of disk brakes in front and either disk or drum brakes at the back connected by a system of tubes and hoses linking the brake at each wheel all the way through the master cylinder. When you step on your brake pedal, your vehicle transmits the force from your foot to its brakes by a fluid. It is important that fluid is purely liquid and that there is no air bubbles in it.

On a disk brake located in front of your vehicle, fluid from the master cylinder is compelled into a caliper where it presses against a piston. In turn, the piston grips two brake pads against the rotor or disk that is connected to the wheel, allowing it to slow down your car and stop. Whereas the brakes that can be found at the rear of your vehicle or drum brakes, fluid is forced into the wheel cylinder that drives the brake shoes out in order for the friction linings to be pressed against the drum connected to the wheel which then causes the wheel to stop.

In either case, the friction surfaces of the brake pads on a disk brake system or the shoes on a drum brake convert the forward motion of the vehicle to heat. Heat then causes the friction surfaces of the pads and shoes to wear out and would call for a replacement in the end. Replacing your damaged car brakes would save from road hassles so if you found out that you really need to replace your brakes, look for replacements right away. Just make sure that you get only brakes of premium quality to ensure that they would last longer.
