A flat friction pad squeezes onto both sides of a brake rotor or disc to enable the wheel to stop.
Disc Brake pads mounted on the brake calipers are applied to a disc brake to keep from a running car to stop. The function of friction pads press against the wheel disc or brake rotor, which converts kinetic energy to heat generated between pads and the disc in order to enable the car to stop.
Designed and manufactured according to OEM standard, disc brake pads are frequently tested to meet market requirements. Continuous research, development and testing of new friction material is very vital important to guarantee the quality of braking performance, comfort, safety and long service life.
The basic features of brake pads are good wear resistance, high coefficient of friction and the performance of heat resistance. Disc brake pads are generally divided into three types accord according to friction material, namely asbestos, semi-metallic, NAO ( non-asbestos organic ) friction materials, which are widely applied to the braking field, owing to different outstanding characteristics, they are still attractive to the demanding market.

Nowadays safety and conform are more and more important to brakes, this is to reflect a higher market requirement, excellent braking performance will be satisfied through years experience of research and development to the brake pads. It is very important to regularly inspect the thickness of pads to minimize driving risk. |
