friction material

 

friction material are the parts of a car's braking system that actually take the brunt of the frictional force necessary to stop the car. In a disc brake system, the brake pedal activates a hydraulic line that squeezes calipees against the rotors of the car's tires. Brake pads are positioned between the callipers and the rotors to absorb the energy and heat, then provide enough grips to stop the car. The friction between the brake pads and rotor is the key to stopping in a disc brake system. Eventually, however, the rubber shoes of a bicycle and the brake pads of a car will wear down and severely compromise the operator's safety. As the friction wears down the brake pads often have special shims built into them to deliberately create a grinding noise as they wear out, in order to alert drivers to have their front brake pads replaced as soon as possible. If the pads continue to grind, the exposed metal of the calliper may carve out a channel in the rotor. If such damage occurs, the entire rotor must either be replaced or turned.
