The role of brake pads

‌Brake pads play a vital role in the braking system of automobiles, and their main functions include deceleration and parking. ‌ When the brake pads rub against the brake disc or brake drum, braking force is generated to slow down or stop the car. Whether it is frequent parking on urban roads or emergency braking on highways, the performance of brake pads is directly related to driving safety. ‌

‌The design and materials of brake pads have an important impact on their performance. ‌ High-quality brake pads generate less heat during friction, which can effectively protect other components of the brake system and extend the service life of the vehicle. In addition, good brake pads can shorten the braking distance and reduce the risk of accidents, especially in rainy or icy weather, the friction performance of brake pads has a greater impact on driving safety.

‌Brake pad replacement cycle and maintenance recommendations‌: It is recommended to start regularly checking the use of brake pads after every 30,000 kilometers of driving, and replace them when the thickness of the brake pads is less than 1/3 of the thickness of the new brake pads (that is, less than 0.5 cm). In order to extend the service life of brake pads, you should develop good driving habits and avoid frequent and strong braking. ‌
