The basis of a disc brake system: a round metal disc which rotates with the road wheel and, in order to generate braking power, is clamped by a caliper holding two friction linings (pads).
The flat rotating member of a disc brake which is contacted by the friction pads when hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder (see) is routed to the caliper.
Braking system component comprising a revolving metal disc that spins with the wheel and which can be slowed by squeezing two or more stationary friction pads against it.
A rotating disc, coupled to a roadwheel, which is clamped between hydraulically operated friction pads in a disc brake system.
the part of a disc brake system that rotates with the wheel.
The parallel-faced, circular, rotational member of a brake, acted upon by the friction material of the shoes. Also known as a brake rotor.
