How the braking system works?
Brakes function in a very simple yet intricate way. There are several components in the car’s braking system, but only a few bear the brunt and does all the work. These components are;
- Brake Calipers
The brake calipers are responsible for holding the brake pads and are responsible for pushing them against the brake disc with an appropriate amount of force to stop the car.
- Brake Pads
The brake pads in the system are responsible to provide enough amount of friction for the brakes to do their job properly. These can be worn out faster than other components of the system and needs to be replaced.
- Brake Disc Rotor
The rotor is a metallic disc, which usually can be seen behind the wheels of your car and is connected to the hub. The brake pads hold the rotor in a position that provides enough friction needed to bring the car to a complete halt.
- Brake Master Cylinder
Brake master cylinder is responsible for pushing the brake fluid with enough force to apply the brake pads onto the brake rotors through the brake calipers. This component of the system can be found under the hood of your car.
