Material which is pushed against a disc by a shoe or caliper to generate friction.

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

Any of the surfaces designed to rub together in a brake system to create friction and therefore stopping power.

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

A variation in thickness between two points on the friction surface of a disc rotor (usually caused by poor manufacture, poor machining or rubbing of the rotor against the caliper when the brakes are ...

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

The most popular and effective type of automotive brake. It uses a rotor (a round grey metal plate) which is squeezed by a caliper to create friction and thereby generate stopping power.

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

Ventilated rotor in which the cooling channels (or vanes) have been curved to increase their ability to pump out hot air and cool the disc. Curved vane rotors are more efficient than conventional ...

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

Disc with friction surfaces which have been drilled with rows of holes to improve cooling, reduce weight and provide an escape route for dirt and gasses which can be wedged between the pads and disc. ...

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

A type of clamp which grips a disc rotor to create friction and thereby generate stopping power.
