Disc Brake

Disk brakes are a crucial component of modern vehicles, responsible for safely stopping cars and other heavy machinery on demand. They work by converting kinetic energy into heat, which is then dissipated through friction pads and rotors. When the driver presses the brake pedal, a hydraulic system transmits pressure to the calipers, causing them to squeeze the brake pads against the rotor. This friction generates immense heat, slowing down or stopping the vehicle in a matter of seconds.
