Brake pads

characteristics of brake pads

The staff brake system is not designed to operate in harsh conditions, even when it comes to SUVs. To prepare a car for a long expedition or feel more confident on public roads, it is recommended to install improved brake pads. They have a high resource, help reduce the brake path and increase the braking rate.

What are brake pads?

pads are used in the brake system to stop the drum or brake disk thanks to friction. They have a multilayered structure that includes an average of five layers:

• Dempfer;
• Corps in the form of a steel plate;
• Adhesive material - is responsible for the adhesion of the base and the working layer;
• a layer that reduces noise;
• friction material.

The quality and thickness of the last layer determines the efficiency and life of the brake pads. Friction material can contain up to 20 components. Each manufacturer has its own recipe that is kept secret.

All modern pads in composition are divided into 3 large groups:

1. metal-containing . Up to 65-70% of metal elements are included in the composition. Such pads cope well with high temperatures, but the quality of inhibition falls with a decrease in ambient temperature. Also they are quite aggressive to calipers and disks.
2. organic . Glass fibers, bronze and steel chips, carbon materials may be contained. Soft, work quite quietly. The service life is relatively short. Also such pads are quite dusty.
3. ceramic . Have advantages of other groups. They retain their properties even at high humidity. They are characterized by a long service life, well removed heat. The only downside is the high price but quite justified.
