WORKING-DISC BRAKES

Disc brakes are one of the most powerful brakes used at present and is economical too.The wheel of the car contains a steel plate like structure mounted to the inner bore of the wheel.Over the steel plate is fixed a rigid hard clamper;which locks the plate when the brake is applied.When the brakes are applied the oil from the brake sump rushes through the brake tubes and constrains a high mechanical impact on the clampers which then lock the steel plate.Thus the dics brake brings the vehicle to complete rest.
                                    Disc brake oil must be refilled regularly or it may lead to the failure of brakes.
The defect in disc brake is that it locks the steel plate completely and thus sometimes make the tyres to skid.

   The skidding of tyres in Disc brakes are overcome with the help of ABS.
