6.3.2 Description and Operation
6.3.2.1 Description and Operation

Rear disc brake system components:

Rear disc brake system consists of the following components:

Brake Pad:Apply the mechanical output force from the
hydraulic brake caliper on the brake disc friction surface.

Brake Pad Guide:Installed between the brake pad and brake
pad mounting bracket to ensure the brake pads move smoothly
and eliminate noise.

Brake Disk:Use the disc brake pad mechanical output force on
the brake disc surface to slow down the tires and wheels
rotation speed, achieve the vehicle braking.

Brake Caliper:Receive the braking fluid pressure from the
brake master cylinder, converts the fluid pressure to the
mechanical output force applying to the brake pad. When the
master cylinder returns, enables the brake piston return.

Brake Caliper to Brake Pad Bracket:Used to fix the disc brake
pad to the brake caliper and maintain the correct brake pad to
brake caliper correlation. When the mechanical output force is
applied to the brake pad, it makes the brake pad slide.

Floating Disc Brake Caliper Pin:Used to install the hydraulic
brake caliper, and fix the caliper with the brake caliper bracket
in place to maintain the with the correct location. When the
mechanical output force is applied, it makes the brake caliper
slide in relation to the brake pad.

Rear disc brake system operation:

Mechanical output force from the hydraulic brake caliper piston
is applied on the brake pads. When the piston pushes the brake
pad inward, the brake caliper pulls the outer brake pad inward
at the same time. The output is evenly distributed. The brake
pad applied the output force to the brake disc friction surface
on both sides of the, and thus slows down the tire and wheel
assembly speed. Whether the brake pad and the brake caliper
are working properly is very important to the braking force
distribution.
