Automotive brake parts refer to all kinds of components that make up the vehicle's braking system (commonly known as the brake system) and perform the functions of deceleration and stopping.
According to authoritative public sources, the main components of an automotive brake system include:
Brake Disc (Brake Rotor): Rotates coaxially with the wheel, and the brake pads clamp its surface to generate friction.
Brake Pads: Core friction components that generate braking force through contact with the brake disc or brake drum.
Brake Caliper: Fixes and drives the brake pads to clamp or release the brake disc.
Brake Shoes (for drum brakes): Used in drum brakes, generate friction by pressing against the inner wall of the brake drum.
Brake Fluid: Transmits hydraulic pressure, connecting the pedal to the actuating mechanism.
Brake Lines and Hoses: Deliver brake fluid to each wheel cylinder or caliper.
Master Cylinder and Brake Booster: Generate and amplify braking pressure.
ABS System Components: Including sensors, control modules, etc., preventing wheel lock-up.
