The Brake Pad is one of the most critical components of a vehicle’s braking system.
🔧 Description:
A friction material pressed against the disc rotor by the brake caliper.
Usually made from semi-metallic, ceramic, or organic composite materials.
Designed to withstand high heat and friction during braking.
✅ Functions:
Creates friction against the disc rotor to slow down or stop the vehicle.
Converts kinetic energy into heat during braking.
Ensures safe and reliable stopping power.
Plays a major role in vehicle control and passenger safety.
⚠️ Symptoms of Worn Brake Pads:
Squealing or grinding noise when braking.
Reduced braking efficiency or longer stopping distances.
Brake warning light on the dashboard.
Visible thinning of the brake pad material.
Vibration or pulsation when pressing the brake pedal.
