What is the round disc inside the wheel hub called?
1 Answers
The round disc inside the wheel hub is called the brake disc. The brake disc is an important component of the braking system. Car braking relies on the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc to achieve stopping. Brake pad parameter requirements: The car manual specifies two main technical parameter requirements for brake pads: one is the thickness standard of the brake pads, and the other is the maintenance limit. Different brands have varying requirements for these two parameters. For example, the Honda Civic requires the brake disc thickness to be 9.5-10.5mm, with a maintenance limit of 1.6mm. Brake pad replacement cycle: Typically, front brake pads need replacement every 30,000-50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads can last 120,000-150,000 kilometers. If you notice reduced braking performance or a softer brake pedal during use, you should check the wear condition of the brake pads and replace them promptly. Composition of the braking system: A car's braking system mainly consists of the vacuum booster pump, master cylinder, wheel cylinder, brake pads, and brake disc. Brake maintenance includes replacing brake fluid, brake pads, and brake discs. Both brake pads and brake discs are wear-prone components in the braking system, while brake fluid is a liquid that requires regular replacement.
