Why does the brake disc get hot after just a few minutes of driving?
1 Answers
It may be due to brake drag. Below is relevant information about brake discs: 1. Introduction: A brake disc, simply put, is a round disc. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force. When you press the brake pedal, the brake disc is clamped to slow down or stop the vehicle. Brake discs offer excellent braking performance and are easier to maintain compared to drum brakes. 2. Structure: Disc brake rotors are divided into solid discs (single-piece discs) and ventilated discs (double-piece discs). Solid discs are straightforward - they're solid. Ventilated discs, as the name suggests, have ventilation functions. Externally, ventilated discs have numerous holes around their circumference leading to the center, called ventilation channels.
