Do you know, either you are interested in Subaru xv 2.0 for sale or any other used car, the car's brakes are designed and built to work best in all conditions, but their efficiency is as important as their power. It would be terrible to think of brakes that do not work well, but it is also our responsibility if this happens. Improper maintenance, untreated, means that the braking system of our car, one of the first safety elements, does not respond optimally when called into question. But what are the different types of car brakes, how do they work and how to do the best maintenance? Let's find out together.
Key Types Of Brakes
There are Two key types of brakes that can be distinguished as disc and drum brakes; both brakes are different in construction, operation, effectiveness and duration. Disc brakes have a shorter life span than the drum system but on the other hand, they are clearly more effective in practice. Let's have a brief look that, How do they work? The Important constructive elements on which to focus our attention are the disks, the pliers, the pistons and the pads. A large metal disk that rotates together with the wheel is mounted directly on the wheel axle. On this disc, on the side, there is a complex mechanical part that takes the name of pliers. Inside the caliper are housed pistons and pads, these are the elements that are composed of a metal base (generally cast iron) and a layer, a contact surface made of composite material that is also called or known as lining).
The Brake Pedal
When we press the brake pedal, from a special tank is pumped to the oil pressure pliers. The hydraulic power of the oil will make move the elements that are housed inside the pliers: the pistons. These elements will in turn force the pads onto the surface of the disc, generating friction that, in fact, will materialize in the braking proper. This model of brakes has the advantage of being quite effective but has a shorter duration due to wear of both the pads and the disks. The other model quite present on cars, especially for what concerns the rear wheels of medium-low range cars, is the drum model. In this case, essential construction elements are the drums, the jaws and the pistons.
Crescent-Shaped Jaws
Inside the drums (which run together with the wheel), behind the walls, we find the crescent-shaped jaws, the ends of which are the housing for the pistons. However, the operation is quite simple; Pressing the brake pedal, the pressurized oil is put into circulation, the force of the oil will make the pistons move, which will force the jaws into contact with the walls of the drum, effectively generating braking. This system, compared to the disk system, has a longer duration over time, but it is slowly going through a slow abandonment due to its less effective braking. Above provided discussion is an outlook about the subject, a buyer should heed the notion with all necessary details before pay the Subaru xv 2.0 price.
