Disc Brake Pads Suppliers China
Disc brake comprising a caliper, one or more brake discs and one or more brake pads. The brake pads suppliers China are received on back plates or other pad support. The caliper and the pad supports are designed to take up resulting re-action forces during braking in a plane perpendicular to a contact surface between the caliper and each pad support.
The brake pads are normally arranged on back plates or other pad supports, which are received in a caliper, or other means having the same function. During braking a friction force, induced by the clamping brake force between brake pads and thebrake disc(s), is transferred to the caliper or the like. The friction force is taken up as a reaction force in the surfaces of contact between pad support(s) and caliper or the like producing a braking torque on the disc(s).
The friction force has normally both horizontal and vertical components, which may be summarised as one force having a certain direction and certain magnitude. The direction and magnitude being the sums of the different components of thefriction force.
The ideal situation during braking is that the resulting reaction force caused by braking torque is taken up in one plane perpendicular to the contact area between the pad supports and the caliper or other type of holder. Furthermore, theresulting reaction force should be totally balanced meaning that the resulting reaction force is positioned within the height of the contact area between the pad support and the caliper. That means that the reaction force will be transferred from thepad support directly down into the caliper, without giving any rotating tendency for the pad support. Whenever the brake pad is not totally balanced it will have a tendency to rotate during braking. Said rotating may be in either direction, dependingon the actual point of action of the reaction forces. The position of the point of action of the resulting reaction forces varies depending on the distribution of wear, brake force, temperature etc.
The reaction forces and the point of action are due to i.a. the dimensions and designs of the brake pads, pad supports and/or caliper, respectively, and the way in and position at which the brake pads are supported in the caliper.
One object of the present invention is that the brake pads should be supported in a balanced way. This is done in that the brake is designed to optimise the position of the point of action of the reaction force and that the reaction force istaken up in a single plane. As there in reality are considerable variations of the conditions constituting the optimal situation, there should also be means to accommodate force components not in the desired single plane and point of action.
The present invention concerns a brake pads disc comprising a caliper, surrounding one or more brake discs and one or more brake pads. Furthermore, a brake actuating mechanism house is attached to the caliper and one or more brake pads are receivedon back plates or other pad supports and/or in the caliper. The above object is achieved in that the caliper and pad supports are designed to take up summarised reaction forces during braking in a plane perpendicular to a contact area between thecaliper and each pad support.
