purpose and principles of the brake system and spare parts

Of all the systems that exist in the vehicle, the braking system is one of the most important. The braking system has been developed on a simple principle, but over time, automotive brake system have been greatly improved and are no longer so simple. Now, they are countless times more reliable and secure.

The braking system works on the principle of kinetic energy being converted into heat. This heat is generated by the friction of brake pads, brake discs and brake drums. The braking system for cars, SUVs, vans, trucks and others, works on hydraulic principle. Pressing the brake pedal decreases the vehicle's speed.

The vehicle itself may control the rate of decline. Break pads consist of two parts: a steel body and friction materials. The friction materials in brake pads do the actual work of stopping the car. Friction between the material and the brake disk generates heat and slows down the vehicle. Formed heat dissipates by passing air through and around the brake disk.

Incidentally, when the brake discs and pads are too heated, the brakes are not as effective and stopping the car becomes much more difficult. In order to better cool the brake discs, they are vented. This means that the friction between the two parts of the disc has space through which air can pass over them and keep them at the normal operating temperature of the brake disk.

The braking system of the vehicle must be regularly checked by a workshop for any wear or leaks. As stated earlier, the system works on the principle of friction, thus making wear inevitable. Please do not ignore this. If you need spare parts for the brake system of your car, SUV, van or truck use the search engine at findspares.co.za.

Through the site, you will find: brake pipes, brake shoes, brake drums and discs, brake pads, servo amplifiers, pedals, pump servo unit, hand brake cable for brake cylinder and many other parts for a brake system.
