What are Disc Brake Pads?
Disc brake pads are friction materials used in disc brake systems. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the brake pads come into contact with the brake disc (rotor), generating frictional resistance to slow down or stop the vehicle. Disc brake systems typically offer superior braking performance.

Modern vehicles widely adopt disc brake systems due to their advantages, including:
● Stable Braking Performance: Disc brake systems provide consistent and enhanced braking force, particularly excelling in high-speed driving or situations requiring frequent braking.
● Excellent Heat Dissipation: The design of disc brakes allows for more effective heat dissipation, helping to prevent overheating.
* Overheating can lead to brake fade, where braking performance diminishes. The heat dissipation capability of disc brakes significantly reduces this risk.*
● Adaptability to Various Conditions: Disc brake systems outperform drum brakes in wet or muddy environments, maintaining good friction and braking effectiveness.
● Responsive and Linear Operation: Hydraulic or mechanical operation in disc brake systems ensures more responsive braking. Drivers can precisely control braking force by pressing the brake pedal or pulling the brake lever, avoiding sudden or uncontrolled braking. This linear response is especially suitable for situations requiring accurate braking, such as racing or urban driving.
● Ease of Maintenance and Replacement: The design of disc brake systems makes them easier to inspect and maintain. Replacing brake pads is relatively straightforward, and disc brake systems typically wear out slower than drum brake systems, reducing maintenance frequency.
