Disc Brake
Brake rotors of disc brakes rotate with the wheels, and brake pads,
which are fitted to the brake calipers, clamp on these rotors to
stop or decelerate the wheels. sThe brake pads pushing against the
rotors generate friction, which transforms kinetic energy into a
thermal energy.
Brakes for Automobiles
Opposed Piston Type Disc Brakes
This thermal energy generates heat, but since the main components
are exposed to the atmosphere, this heat can be diffused
efficiently. This heat-dissipating property reduces brake fade,
which is the phenomenon where braking performance is influenced by
the heat. Another advantage of disc brakes is its resistance to
water fade, which occurs when the water on the brakes significantly
reduces braking force. When the vehicle is in motion, the rotor
spins at high speeds and this rotational motion discharges the
water from the rotors themselves, resulting in stable braking
force.
Getting to Know Brakes｜Products and Technologies
Disc brakes are generally used in passenger cars, but due to their
stable performance at higher speeds and resistance to brake fade,
they are gradually spreading into the commercial vehicle segment,
where drum brakes were traditionally chosen for their longer
service life. There is increasing demand from customers for longer
service life and higher quality, and Akebono is committed to
meeting them through further development of the disc brake’s
reliability. There are two types of disc brakes.
The "opposed piston type disc brake" has pistons on both sides of
the disc rotor, while the "floating type disc brake" has a piston
on only one side. Floating caliper type disc brakes are also called
sliding pin type disc brakes.
Disc brake construction
The brake rotor (disc) which rotates with the wheel, is clamped by
brake pads (friction material) fitted to the caliper from both
sides with pressure from the piston(s) (pressure mechanism) and
decelerates the disc rotation, thereby slowing down and stopping
the vehicle.
How disc brakes work
When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the power is amplified by
the brake booster (servo system) and changed into a hydraulic
pressure (oil-pressure) by the master cylinder. The pressure
reaches the brakes on the wheels via tubing filled with brake oil
(brake fluid). The delivered pressure pushes the pistons on the
brakes of the four wheels. The pistons in turn press the brake
pads, which are friction material, against the brake rotors which
rotate with the wheels. The pads clamp on the rotors from both
sides and decelerate the wheels, thereby slowing down and stopping
the vehicle.
Main components of disc brakes
Main components of floating type disc brakes
There are two types of disc brakes. One is called the "opposed
piston type disc brake" which has pistons on both sides of the disc
rotor, and the other is the "floating type disc brake" which has a
piston on only one side. The floating type disc brakes are also
called the sliding pin type disc brakes.
