What is the lifespan of brake pads?
1 Answers
Under normal driving conditions, the service life of front brake pads is approximately 30,000-50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads last about 60,000-100,000 kilometers. Once severe wear is detected, immediate replacement is necessary. Brake Pads: Also known as brake linings. In a vehicle's braking system, brake pads are the most critical safety components that play a decisive role in all braking performance. Therefore, high-quality brake pads serve as guardians for both drivers and vehicles. Composition: Brake pads typically consist of steel plates, adhesive heat insulation layers, and friction blocks. The steel plates undergo anti-rust coating processes, with temperature distribution during coating monitored by SMT-4 oven trackers to ensure quality. The insulation layer comprises non-heat-conductive materials designed for thermal insulation. Friction blocks are composed of friction materials and adhesives, which create friction against brake discs or drums during braking to decelerate the vehicle. Due to friction effects, these blocks gradually wear out, with generally lower-cost brake pads wearing faster.
