Brake pads are a vital component of a vehicle’s braking system. They are designed to create friction against the brake rotors or discs, which slows down or stops the vehicle when the brakes are applied. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure is applied to the brake calipers, squeezing the brake pads against the rotors, and generating the friction necessary to halt the vehicle.
Necessary friction to slow down or stop the vehicle safely. Their ability to withstand high temperatures and maintain consistent performance directly impacts braking efficiency and driver safety. Regular inspection and maintenance of brake pads are essential to ensure reliable braking performance and prevent potential accidents on the road.
