What Are the Reasons for Abnormal Noises in Car Brakes?
1 Answers
Abnormal noises in car brakes may be caused by rust on the brake discs or brake pads. Principle of Car Brakes: The working principle of brakes mainly comes from friction, utilizing the friction between the brake pads and the brake discs (drums) as well as between the tires and the ground to convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction, thereby stopping the car. A good and efficient braking system must provide stable, sufficient, and controllable braking force, and have excellent hydraulic transmission and heat dissipation capabilities to ensure that the force applied by the driver on the brake pedal is fully and effectively transmitted to the master cylinder and each slave cylinder, while avoiding hydraulic failure and brake fade caused by high temperatures. The braking systems on cars are divided into two main types: disc brakes and drum brakes. However, apart from cost advantages, the efficiency of drum brakes is far inferior to that of disc brakes. Location of Car Brakes: The car brake pedal is located under the steering wheel. In an automatic car, there are only two pedals: the left foot brake and the right foot accelerator pedal. In a manual car, there are three pedals, arranged from left to right: the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal.
