How do brake discs work?

The disc brake is a type of braking fitted to cars. There are other braking systems, including the drum brake. On current cars, disc brakes are systematically fitted to the front wheels, with the rear wheels sometimes having a drum brake.

The disc brake system consists of three mechanical elements:

• The brake caliper ;
• Brake pads;
• The brake disc-even him.

The disc is connected to the brake caliper and pads. It is fixed on the hub of the wheel. When you press the brake pedal, you operate a piston that pressurizes the brake fluid. The one-then actuates the brake caliper, which supports the pads on the brake disc. It is this friction that slows down the rotation of the disc and brakes your vehicle.

But there are different types of brake discs:

• The full brake disc : it is a solid metal disc, which has no groove.Its cooling is less good, and the disc can exceed 600°C during braking.
• The brake disc ventilated : the disc has two sides between which an empty space allows a better ventilation.
• The grooved brake disc : it has grooves on its surface, which allow a better cooling of the disc by increasing friction.
• The perforated brake disc : it has holes on its surface, which allow rain water to flow easily and promote the cooling of the disc.

The full brake disc is the cheapest, but it is also the oldest.Above all, it evacuates the heat less well than a brake disc ventilated, grooved or perforated, while the action of the pads on the disc results in a friction that causes the brake disc to rise in temperature when you brake.

Note however that you do not have the choice of disk type when changing your brake discs.Indeed, the original brake discs must be respected.

When do you change your brake discs?

Brake discs and pads are wear parts.It is therefore necessary to change them periodically.In general, a car’s brake discs should be changed all 30 to 40,000 kilometres.Plates are to be replaced all 15 to 20,000 kilometres, the discs being changed once on two.

However, the brake disc replacement interval naturally depends on their wear.The-this varies according to the weight of your car, the roads on which you travel but also your driving.Silent roads or frequent and rough braking obviously use brake discs faster.

Manufacturers provide for one minimum the brake disc that must be respected.It appears in your interview book.The thickness of the brake disc must be checked regularly to ensure you respect this rating and drive safely.The brake discs must be changed when their thickness is not sufficient.

How do I know if the brake discs are dead?

Braking is one of the most sought-after systems in your vehicle, and brake discs are wear parts to be monitored regularly to ensure you ride safely.Your brake discs have a minimum thickness rating must be controlled.

When the disc thickness approaches this rating, it is worn and it must be changed.It is possible to measure the thickness of a disc with a specific tool (the palm) easily found in store or a sliding foot.

But worn or damaged brake discs also have symptoms, for example:

• L’extension of braking distances ;
• Dude noise during braking;
• Des to-shot brakes;
• One brake pedal problem, that is hard, soft or that sinks without resistance.

If you encounter any of these symptoms, consult a tour operator without delay.It is of course very dangerous to ride with worn or damaged brake discs.
