Components of the Braking System
Your brakes have a multitude of separate, moving components within the system that all work tirelessly and rapidly to bring your vehicle to a stop. Some of the main components in the brake system are:
- Brake pads
- Brake calipers
- Wheel cylinders
- Master cylinder
- Brake hoses and brake lines
- Brake fluid
- Parking brake cables
- Various connected hardware
With so many different elements working together, your brakes require a thorough inspection and will need brake repair and brake service. By letting the crew at our Broken Arrow auto shop handle your brake service needs, you can ensure that your brakes are in expert hands and are receiving the attention they require.
How the Braking Components Work Together
The braking system technology has certainly grown over the years and is a wonder of engineering and physics. Once you press on the brake pedal, a lever forces the brake fluid to create hydraulic pressure in the brake calipers in each wheel. This hydraulic pressure on the brake calipers squeezes the brake pads against the brake rotors to create a high amount of friction that begins to slow the momentum of the wheels. Once friction between the brake pads and brake rotors overpowers the momentum of the wheel, your vehicle will come to a complete stop.
With all of the actions that rapidly take place to bring your vehicle to a stop comes a hefty amount of strain and stress on the braking components. Every time you use your brakes, they endure massive friction and strain, and take on minor amounts of wear and tear that will eventually require brake service or brake repair.
