What is the difference between floating brake discs and fixed brake discs?
1 Answers
Floating brake discs and fixed brake discs differ in the following ways: 1. Different braking principles: Floating brake discs slide freely on the axle pins matched with the bracket, generating braking torque; Fixed brake discs generate friction and braking torque when the pistons inside the brake calipers extend the brake pads to clamp the brake disc. 2. Different structures: Floating brake discs mean the brake calipers are floating; Fixed brake discs mean the brake calipers are fixed. Situations requiring brake disc replacement include: 1. The thickness of the brake disc is less than the minimum maintenance standard allowed by the vehicle manufacturer; 2. The wear indicator on the brake disc contacts the brake disc; 3. The brake disc exhibits abnormal wear or conical wear.
