READ MOREAs the core guarantee system for vehicle safety, the function of the automotive brake system depends on the precise coordination and technological innovation of multiple automotive brake system accessories. From the basic friction pair to the cutting-edge electronic control system, the design of each accessory carries the mission of kinetic energy conversion, dynamic control and safety assurance, and together builds a safety line of defense for modern transportation.
The brake master cylinder and wheel cylinder constitute the power transmission chain of hydraulic braking. When the driver steps on the pedal, the vacuum booster amplifies the foot force, pushes the master cylinder piston to compress the brake fluid, and transmits the pressure evenly to each wheel brake through Pascal's law. As the execution terminal, the wheel cylinder pushes the friction element to contact the rotating part through the piston, converting the hydraulic energy into mechanical force. In the disc brake, the floating caliper drives the friction plate through the unilateral piston, and the reaction force drives the caliper body to slide to achieve bidirectional clamping; while the fixed multi-piston caliper optimizes the braking force distribution through symmetrical pressure.
The combination of brake disc and brake pad is the core of kinetic energy conversion. The open design of the disc brake accelerates airflow and heat dissipation through ventilation slots and perforated structures. The ceramic composite brake disc can withstand high temperatures of 1400°C, reducing weight by 50% compared to traditional cast iron discs while extending life to 300,000 kilometers, becoming a standard feature of high-performance models. Brake pad materials have evolved from asbestos and semi-metal to ceramic formulas, and the composite structure of carbon fiber and ceramic fiber achieves a balance between high-temperature stability and quietness.
