Disc brake pads have better reactivity and stability, good heat dissipation, and easy replacement. But its wear rate is higher, the cost is relatively high. In addition, the mode of action of disc brakes is similar to the braking mode of our general bicycles-a rubber brake disc connected to the wheel rim interacts during braking until the wheel stops rotating.

What are the characteristics of disc brake pads?

The most important thing is that disc brakes can be easily matched with the ABS system and are used more on mid-to-high-end cars; while drum brakes have lower cost, higher absolute braking force, and easier to brake with one foot! It is more used in the rear wheels of ordinary small cars, which is generally called the front disc and rear drum!

The difference between the sensitivity of disc brake pads and the tightness of the brake:

Disc brake pads (discs) are divided into ordinary disc and ventilated disc. Ordinary disc is easier for us to understand. To put it bluntly, it is solid. The ventilated disc type, as the name implies, has a ventilation effect. It means that the centrifugal force generated by the car during exercise can make the air convection and achieve the purpose of heat dissipation. This is determined by the special structure of the disc type.

From the outside, it has many holes on the circumference leading to the center of the circle. These holes are made by a special process, so the heat dissipation effect is much better than that of ordinary disc type. Due to the relationship between manufacturing process and cost, the brake pads of the front ventilated disc and the rear ordinary disc are generally used in general middle and high-end cars.
