The principle of braking

The working principle of the brake is mainly from friction. The friction between the brake pad and the brake disc (drum) and the tire and the ground is used to convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle into the heat energy after friction and stop the car. A good and efficient braking system must be able to provide stable, sufficient and controllable braking force, and have good hydraulic transmission and heat dissipation capabilities to ensure that the force exerted by the driver from the brake pedal can be fully and effectively transmitted to the master cylinder And each sub-pump, and avoid hydraulic failure and brake recession caused by high heat. The brake system on the car is divided into two categories: disc and drum, but in addition to the cost advantage, the efficiency of drum brakes is far less than that of disc brakes.

Maintenance method of brake pads

Brake pads are consumables that will gradually wear out during use. When they are worn to the limit, they must be replaced, otherwise the braking effect will be reduced, and even safety accidents will be caused.

Under normal driving conditions, check the brake shoes every 5,000 kilometers, not only to check the remaining thickness, but also to check the state of wear of the shoes, whether the degree of wear on both sides is the same, whether the return is free, etc., if any abnormal situation is found, it must be checked. deal with it immediately.
