What does brake assembly mean?

The brake assembly refers to a complete set of devices used for car braking, which is one of the key components for safe driving of the car. The main function of the brake assembly is to generate resistance through friction, converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into thermal energy, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle.

A brake assembly typically consists of multiple components, including brake wheel cylinders, brake calipers, brake discs, and brake pads. These components work together to ensure that the brake assembly can effectively perform braking tasks.

The brake wheel cylinder is one of the core components of the brake assembly, which converts the hydraulic energy input from the brake master cylinder into mechanical energy and drives the brake to work. And brake calipers clamp the brake disc during braking, generating braking force through friction to slow down or stop the vehicle.

The brake disc is a component that works in conjunction with the brake caliper, and when the car is in motion, the brake disc will also rotate accordingly. When the brake caliper clamps the brake disc, friction is generated between the two, causing deceleration or parking. The brake pads are components that come into direct contact with the brake discs and generate friction, and their quality and performance directly affect the braking effect and driving safety.
