Disc Brake System Description and Operation
Disc Brake System Description and Operation |
System Component 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.
Disc Brake Caliper Hardware (J64)
The hydraulic brake caliper is secured by two bolts to the steering knuckle. Four hydraulic pistons enables a sliding motion of the brake pads when mechanical output force is applied.
