How to Check the Thickness of Brake Pads?
1 Answers
Methods to check the thickness of brake pads: 1. Visual inspection: Some brake pads can be seen through the gaps in the wheel hub. If the brake pads have worn down to one-third of the standard thickness, it is recommended to replace them; 2. Dashboard handbrake light: Some vehicle models will display a warning on the dashboard handbrake light position when the brake pads are too thin. There are also tools available to check the thickness of brake pads for a better assessment. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking actions is determined by the brake pads. Brake pads are generally composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT4 oven temperature tracker to ensure the temperature distribution during coating meets quality standards.
