Disc Brake System Principle and Working Animation

How the disc brake work ? Disc brakes use the clamping method for braking. We know that the brake system works because there is friction. In the disc brake system, friction occurs when the brake pad clamp a rotating rotor. So, there are two main components. First the rotor. The rotor is shaped like this, connected to the axle shaft so that it rotates with the wheel. Second, brake pads. Brake pads are the component to rub the rotor. They are connected to the chassis of the vehicle. so, when they’re clamped the rotor, brake pads are able to hold the rotor rotation. But how the brake pads clamp the rotor? We have another components, it is the brake caliper. Brake caliper is a brake actuator that produce clamping movements. The latest cars, generally use hydraulic brake control. The hydraulic system basically functions to move energy from the pedal to the actuator more effectively. So, when we press the pedal. The push rod is pushed, so that the piston inside the
