What Causes the Noise in Disc Brakes?
1 Answers
The reasons for noise in disc brakes include: the brake pads are in the break-in period, metal particles are present in the brake pads, excessive wear of the brake disc and brake pads, or deformation of the brake disc. The function of brakes is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. Their working principle involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and the brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. Disc brakes consist of a brake disc connected to the wheel and a brake caliper at the edge of the disc. During braking, high-pressure brake fluid pushes the brake pads to clamp the brake disc, creating a braking effect. Disc brakes are sometimes also called rotor brakes and are divided into two types: standard disc brakes and ventilated disc brakes.
