Q » How do disc brakes work, and what is the role of the caliper?
17 Oct, 2025
A » Disc brakes function by using brake pads to create friction against a spinning disc or rotor, slowing the vehicle. The caliper plays a crucial role by housing the brake pads and using hydraulic pressure to press them against the rotor when the brake pedal is applied. This mechanism efficiently converts kinetic energy into heat, effectively reducing the vehicle's speed or bringing it to a stop.
