Most vehicular accidents involve speeding vehicles, and the common reason of such accidents is the failure of the braking system to engage properly. One of the most important safety components of an automobile is the brakes as it is the one responsible in slowing down the forward motion of a vehicle or putting it into a complete stop. A defective braking system can most likely turn a supposed to be fun and exciting ride into a risky and unsafe one. Making sure that your car’s brakes are kept in tiptop condition can keep you away from serious injuries or worse, death.
An automobile’s braking system can either be a drum braking system or a disc braking system. The former is a kind of brakes that is usually seen on older vehicles, and is being used both at the front and rear wheels of such vehicles. Its main component is a metal cylinder called brake drum. Such brake drum is the component to which the brake shoes and brake pads are being pushed against to create friction that will convert the vehicle’s forward motion into heat that will cause the vehicle to slow down or stop. A disc braking system on the other hand, is one that uses a brake disc or brake rotor in place of brake drums.
Aside from brake rotors (also called as brake disc), a disc braking system has another vital component called brake caliper like the Merkur brake caliper. Undergoing the same process, the brake pads should also be pressed against the rotors to create friction that will convert the vehicle’s forward motion into heat and will cause the vehicle to slow down or halt. The brake caliper will be one that will press the pads against the rotor as the pads are held by the caliper facing both surfaces of the rotor. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the brake cable will trigger the caliper to clamp the pads against the rotor to produce friction.
However, due to long and constant use, brake calipers also come to a point of being worn out and defective. For such reason, immediate replacement of which should be made to ensure a reliable and efficient disc braking system.
