  2. Disc brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

    A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc (sometimes called a [brake] rotor) [1] to create friction. [2] There are two basic types of brake pad friction mechanisms: abrasive friction and adherent [ further explanation needed ] friction. [ 3 ]

  3. Disk loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_loading

    In fluid dynamics, disk loading or disc loading is the average pressure change across an actuator disk, such as an airscrew. Airscrews with a relatively low disk loading are typically called rotors, including helicopter main rotors and tail rotors ; propellers typically have a higher disk loading. [ 1 ]

  4. Brake pad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

    The brake pad and disc (now both having the friction material), then "stick" to each other, providing the friction that stops the vehicle. In disc brakes, there are usually two brake pads per disc rotor, they both function together. These are held in place and actuated by a caliper affixed to the wheel hub or suspension upright. Racing calipers ...

  5. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake

    A disc brake consists of a metal disc, or "rotor", attached to the wheel hub that rotates with the wheel. Calipers are attached to the frame or fork along with pads that squeeze the rotors for braking. Disc brakes may be actuated mechanically by cable, or hydraulically.

  6. Ausco Lambert disc brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ausco_Lambert_disc_brake

    The Ausco-Lambert disc brake [1] is an unusual brake where an axially-expanding shoe assembly is sandwiched between two linked rotating discs. It may be thought of as an "inside out" disc brake : instead of pads pinching a disc, the pads expand inside a hollow disc.

  7. Brake lining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

    The brake lining is that part of the brake pad which actually contacts the metal brake disc (rotor) when the brake is engaged. Using a typical bicycle brake as an example, the backing would be the metal shell which provides mechanical support, and the lining would be the rubbery portion which contacts the rims when the brakes are applied.

  8. Drum brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_brake

    Drum brake (upper right) with the drum removed (lower left, inside facing up), on the front of a Ford Falcon Sprint A rear drum brake on a Kawasaki W800 motorcycle. A drum brake is a brake that uses friction caused by a set of shoes or pads that press outward against a rotating bowl-shaped part called a brake drum.

  9. Brake fade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

    Self-assist reduces the input force needed to apply the brake, but exaggerates fade, since a reduction in pad friction material height or thickness also reduces pad force. In contrast, for a brake without self-assist, such as a conventional disc brake, a loss of pad friction material does not change the pad force, so there is no necessary loss ...
