Brake Disk

A brake disc, also known as a brake rotor, is an essential component of a vehicle's braking system. It's made from a lightweight material such as cast iron or a ceramic composite and is attached to the wheel hub. When pressure is applied to the brake pedal, the caliper clamps the brake pads onto the rotating disc, which slows down and stops the vehicle. The disc's design allows for better heat dissipation, ensuring consistent braking performance even under heavy use.
