Brake Pad (Set) - A 002 420 52 20
Brake Pad: A crucial component of the braking system, brake pads create friction against the brake rotor to slow down or stop a vehicle. Made from various materials such as organic, semi-metallic, or ceramic compounds, they are designed to deliver optimal stopping power and durability. High-quality brake pads ensure consistent performance, reduce noise, and minimize wear on rotors, enhancing overall safety and driving experience.
Brake Pad lies between the rotor and the caliper to reduce the level of friction from metal on metal. Over time, the pads need replacing. When a driver applies the brakes, they may hear a screeching sound, or the vehicle pulls to one sign.
Brake pads are generally consisted of five different component groups. These groups are named as reinforcements, binders, abrasives, lubricants and fillers. Each of these groups has its own function such as to improve friction property, wear resistance, to increase strength, and to reduce porosity and noise. Brake pads are a key brake part because they are the component that contacts and applies pressure and friction to a vehicle's brake rotors -- those flat, shiny discs that you can sometimes see just behind the wheels of some vehicles. The pressure and friction applied to the brake rotor is what slows and stops the wheel. Once the wheels stop turning, the vehicle stops moving.
