Brake Components
When it comes to understanding brake systems, there are six main components you need to know about. First, there is the master cylinder responsible for converting energy from the driver’s foot into hydraulic pressure that is transferred throughout the system. Second, there are the rotors that help slow down the wheels by providing friction between the brakes and the wheels. Third, some calipers hold the rotors in place during braking and help control their movement. Fourth, some pads provide additional friction on top of that provided by the rotor. Fifth, a drum brake assembly that works differently from disc brakes but still provides stopping power for your vehicle. Finally, last but not least, there is a brake booster which helps make braking easier for drivers by reducing the pedal effort needed for braking.
