Pacific Automotive removes the wheel, removes the dust cover, disconnects the brake pad sensor plug from the bracket, unscrews the brake caliper fixing bolt, and then removes the brake caliper housing, using The metal wire fixes it to the vehicle body to prevent the brake caliper from compressing the gravity or damaging the brake pipe. Finally, remove the brake pad from the brake caliper housing.

Remove the wheel, remove the dust cover, disconnect the brake pad sensor plug from the bracket, unscrew the brake caliper fixing bolt, then remove the brake caliper housing and use a metal wire to Fix it on the vehicle body to prevent the gravity of the brake caliper from compressing or damaging the brake pipe. Finally, remove the brake pad from the brake caliper housing.

Automobile brake pads, also called automobile brake pads, refer to friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc that rotates with the wheel. The friction linings and friction pads are subject to external pressure, resulting in Friction acts to achieve the purpose of vehicle deceleration.

Car brake pads are generally composed of steel plates, bonded insulation layers and friction blocks. The steel plates must be painted to prevent rust. During the coating process, an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker is used to detect the progress of the coating process. temperature distribution to ensure quality.

The working principle of brakes mainly comes from friction. The friction between brake pads and brake discs and tires and the ground is used to convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat energy after friction to stop the vehicle. A good and efficient braking system must be able to provide stable, sufficient, controllable braking force, and have good hydraulic transmission and heat dissipation capabilities to ensure that the force exerted by the driver from the brake pedal can be fully and effectively transmitted to the master cylinder and each sub-cylinder, and avoid hydraulic failure and brake failure caused by high heat. The brake systems on cars are divided into two categories: disc brakes and drum brakes. However, in addition to the cost advantage, drum brakes are far less efficient than disc brakes.
