Shift Brake
The Different Types Of Brakes – Drum And Disc
Similar to fuel-system and suspension technologies, brake technology has improved a lot when compared to the ones used in the past. With the introduction of various components like sintered metal and carbon fiber, together with the adoption of ABS, the stopping distances of modern cars have reduced considerably. In most US cities like Falls Church and Arlington, the cars that are used come with disc brakes, however, drum brakes are also used in most vehicles even today.
Initially when drum brakes were switched to discs, these were used only on the front wheels of cars. This was the case because the front wheels take the bulk of a vehicle’s stopping power. Since then most car manufacturers have started adopting disc brakes on all the models that they manufactured, like performance, low-end, and high-end cars.
Disc
Disc brakes rely on the same rule (which is heat and friction) to slow down a vehicular speed. However, the design used on them is much more superior when compared to drum brakes. Just like the name suggest, in this type of technology a slim rotor and a small caliper are used in a combined manner to stop the car. The caliper contains a couple of brake pads placed on each side of the rotor. When the pedal is pressed, the two pads clamp the rotor together and thus slow down the speed of the car or bring it to a complete halt. It is important to know that fluid is used to shift the movement of the brake pedal to the movement of the pads.
Drum
In this type of braking technology, which was common in older cars all over the world, including those in numerous US cities like Jefferson and Falls Church, drum brakes were used on all four wheels of a vehicle. This type of name was given because the components were kept in a round drum that rotated together with the wheel. The drum also housed a set of shoes which used to press against the drum when force was applied on the pedal.
