What is the function of the brake disc analyzed by Lujie Brake for you?

With the rapid development of highways, the improvement of vehicle speed, and the increasing density of traffic, the reliability of automotive braking systems is becoming increasingly important in order to ensure driving safety and reliable parking. Below, the manufacturer of Zhendong brake discs will introduce the function of brake discs?

The basic function of a car braking system is to slow down or stop a moving car, maintain a stable speed of a car traveling downhill, and a mechanism that stops a stopped car in place or on a slope. The braking system of a car directly affects its safety and parking reliability. Only cars with good braking performance and reliable braking system can fully utilize their power performance.

Starting from the function and design requirements of the braking system, based on the given design parameters, conduct a scheme demonstration. After comparing the advantages and disadvantages of various forms of brakes, the caliper disc type was chosen. This ensures both high braking efficiency and good stability.

Disc brake discs, also known as disc brakes, are named after their shape as the name suggests. It is controlled by hydraulic pressure and its main components include brake discs, wheel cylinders, brake calipers, oil pipes, etc. The brake disc is made of alloy steel and fixed to the wheels, rotating with the wheels. The wheel cylinder is fixed on the bottom plate of the brake and cannot move. The two friction plates on the brake caliper are installed on both sides of the brake disc. The piston of the slave cylinder is subjected to hydraulic pressure from the oil pipe, pushing the friction plate towards the brake disc for frictional braking, acting as if using pliers to clamp the rotating disc and force it to stop.

This type of brake has fast heat dissipation, light weight, simple structure, and convenient adjustment. Especially under high loads, it has good high-temperature resistance, stable braking effect, and is not afraid of mud and water invasion. When driving in winter and harsh road conditions, disc brake is more likely to stop the car in a shorter time than drum brake. Some disc brakes also have many small holes on the brake disc, which accelerate ventilation and heat dissipation to improve braking efficiency. On the other hand, drum brakes, due to their poor heat dissipation performance, accumulate a large amount of heat during the braking process.
