Understanding the function and importance of brake pads

Brake system is the most critical safety equipment of a vehicle, and brake pads are one of the core components, whose main function is to slow down or stop the vehicle through friction. There are three main types of brake pads: bicycle, motorcycle and car. Although the principles are similar, the design and materials are very different.

Do you know what materials brake pads are made of? What is the difference between different materials of brake pads? For novices or non-technical professionals, understanding the basic categories and uses of brake pads is the first step in the selection process.

Application of Elig brake pad materials.

Application of Elig brake pad materials.

Brake pads are mainly composed of friction material and backing plate. The friction material is the part that creates friction with the brake disc, and common materials include metal, ceramic, and organic compound, etc. Metal brake pads are resistant to high temperature and have strong braking power, but are relatively noisy. Brake pads made of metal are resistant to high temperatures and have strong braking power, but they are noisy; brake pads made of ceramic are low-noise, low-dust and wear-resistant, but they are more expensive; and brake pads made of organic compound materials are both economical and environmentally friendly. Different brake pads are suitable for different driving environments and needs.

How to choose the best brake pads for your driving needs.

How to choose the best brake pads for your driving needs.

When choosing brake pads, specific needs should be considered. For example, drivers who often drive in mountainous areas or on complicated roads should choose brake pads with high braking power, high temperature resistance and wear resistance; while city commuters can consider products with lower noise, less dust and more even wear.
Elig brake pads not only provide better safety and security, but also extend the service life of the braking system, bringing the car owner a more economical and more secure driving experience.
