    Car's Disc Brake Picture: Firdaus Putra Kuswoyo

    Uploaded by

    The document describes the components of a car's disc brake system, including the disc/rotor, caliper, piston, piston seal, brake pad, dust boot, brake fluid, and fluid line. It explains that the disc/rotor attaches to the wheel and the brake pad creates friction against it to slow the car. The brake fluid applies hydraulic pressure through the fluid line and caliper to push the piston and clamp the brake pad against the disc/rotor. Similarities and differences between disc and drum brakes are provided, as well as strengths like heat dissipation and weaknesses like dirt accumulation of disc brakes. Maintenance tips like checking brake fluid and replacing pads and fluid are outlined.

    2. The components of cars disc brake


    The components of cars disc brake are:
    A. Disc/Rotor

    B. Caliper

    C. Piston

    D. Piston Seal

    E. Brake Pad

    F. Dust Boot

    G. Brake Fluid

    H. Fluid Line

    3. The work of each component


    A. Disc/rotor
    Disc or rotor attached to the wheel. This component work as a media against
    friction of the brake pad.
    B. Caliper
    This component work as a house of piston and equipped with line of brake fluid.
    C. Piston
    The brake fluid continue the braking force in the form of hydraulic pressure to the
    piston and this condition caused the piston pushed to pressure the pad.

    D. Piston Seal
    When the piston pushed by brake fluid, the piston seal deforms as the piston
    moves. After the pressure of the brake fluid is removed, the piston seal returns
    amount of its deformation.
    E. Brake Pad
    This component works by clamping disc due to pressure from the piston when
    hydraulic pressure is applied. So the surface of brake pad and the surface of disc
    brake will rub against each other.
    F. Dust Boot
    This component work as a protector of the piston from the dirt.
    G. Brake Fluid
    This component works by continue the braking force in the form of hydraulic
    pressure to the piston in the caliper.
    H. Fluid Line
    This component work as a media to flow the brake fluid into the caliper.

    4. The similiarities and diferences cars disc brake with cars drum
    brake

    Similiarities
    Disc brake and drum brake have the funtion to reduce or retard the velocity of a
    car.
    Diferences
    Disc brake use a piston seal to return the brake pad into initial condition.
    Drum brake use a spring to return the brake pad on the brake shoe into the
    initial condition.
    As a media against friction of the brake pad, in disc brake use disc or rotor.
    But in the drum brake use a drum.

    5. Strength and weakness

    Strength
    Disc brake have the ability water recovery better than drum brakes, because
    the water will be thrown out of the surface of the disc and brake pad due to
    centrifugal force.
    Disc brake have the ability to release heat greater than the drum brake.
    Braking power can reach 100% because entire the brake pad rubbing directly
    to the disc.
    Weakness
    open construction causing dirt enter easily into components of the disc brake
    so that the disc braking performance is hampered.

    6. How to maintenance

    Check the brake fluid condition every 2 weeks.


    Check the condition of the brake pad and always keep it clean of dirt with
    sandpaper or brush.
    Replace the brake fluid every 10000 km.
    Replace the brake pad every 20000-25000 km.
