    What are Disc Brakes?

    A disc brake is a type of brake that uses callipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc in order to create friction that retards the rotation of a shaft, such as a vehicle axle, either to reduce its rotational speed or to hold it stationary.

    Hydraulic disc brakes are the most commonly used form of brake for motor vehicles but the principles of a disc brake are applicable to almost any rotating shaft.

    Compared to drum brakes, disc brakes offer better stopping performance because the disc is more readily cooled. As consequence discs are less prone to the brake fade caused when brake components overheat. Disc brakes also recover more quickly from immersion (wet brakes are less effective than dry ones).

    What about the Pads?

    The brake pads are made of a softer material than the metal of the brake discs. This means it is the pads which often wear out faster (and depending on the properties of the material, disc wear rates may vary). You will find that you will have to replace your brake pads more often than your brake discs. Most brake pads are equipped with a method of alerting the driver when this needs to be done.
