How Disc Brakes Work

[krunkaintdead69]

To be safe, I just put my mother in law in the car. Due to her constant nagging im unable to go 10kms less then the speed limit.

Wow

Lídia ets la millor profe! jajaj

thanks this helped alot

Holy shit really?!?!?!

Very few street cars have the fixed disc brake system that is illustrated in this video. Instead most street cars use what is called a sliding caliper where there is only one piston and the caliper moves on a set of pins to apply force to both side of the rotating disc. The fixed system is only used in high performance street cars such as a Corvette and European sports cars where the extra force and cost of a fixed disc system is needed or economically viable.

0:04 the red part of my disc brake pops out so i cant put my disc inside the brake, (wont fit) does anyone know how to fix this problem?

[darkguitarist93]

@jeffrey71028 Those are the brake disc pistons. Take a brake pad and a C clamp and put the brake pad against the disc pistons and beging to clamp (evenly) so that the pistons are realigned with the disc.

Hydrolics are also used because you can vary the pressures inside the system (via cylinder sizes). This is the reason why it only takes a few pounds of pressure at the pedal, to have the TONS of pressure required at the wheels. Also, although less reliable, the double action drum brakes is much more efficient when it comes to braking power. This is because it uses the momentum, and weight of the vehicle to do most of the braking mechanically.

[salemcripple]

@salemcripple pt2, This is why the drum brake cylinders only need to be on the order of maybe 1" bore, and disk brake cylinder bores are easily 4x that. The down side is that they fade easily, aren't as reliable, and are harder to maintain.

but how do the pads distance themselves from the disc when u get of it

[wahlocki]

They spring back off the disc

since when did steven hawking get into bikes

[intellofreak]

the narration is good.. but.. seriously, the video quality is quite poor. check out my video under "Video Responses" to understand the working better.

[willywonkasunshine]

thanks m8 it helped me with my science Essay

[robinsonm08]

is this the same way as mountain bike hydralic disk braks work

[wahlocki]

Exactly the same.

[lavid2006]

lmfao

[lavid2006]

no....

[wahlocki]

Yes it is. You obviously have no idea. Same principle for bike or car.

[lavid2006]

yeah because when you squeeze the bike handle your using a hydraulic system....fuckin idiot

[wahlocki]

LOL you obviously have been living in the stone ages if you don't know that most mountain bikes now use hydraulic disc brakes that work in the exact same way taht motorbike or car disc brakes do. You fucking illeterate douche.

[lavid2006]

Your a fuckin fagget. Bikes dont have a booster you fuck. "Ohhn exact same way"

[wahlocki]

Your a dumbshit you have no fucking idea about either cars or motorbikes you hopefully dumbass. Maybe you should go take 101 lessons on fucking Mechanics you stupid faggot.

[lavid2006]

he said a mountain bike not a motorcycle dumbass

[wahlocki]

OMG NO SHIT!!!

[NutsandGuts]

@wahlocki LOL disc brakes on a BIKE? cmon...what's next 4wd bikes? lol your a fucking retard

[wahlocki]

@NutsandGuts You must be the most ignorant fuckwit on here. Disc brakes are standard on mountain bikes you dumb retard. Google / Youtube it you dumb shit. Maybe not your shitty POS bike. Get wit hthe 21st centuary u fkn noob.

[N9olan]

@NutsandGuts They have 4WD bicycles called "quad cycles" or bicycle with "four wheels" already and they have existed for quite some time. Some companies offer a torque transfer attachment that fits to any bike turning them into 2WD... The benefits are better overall handling-stability, traction, etc...

[johnfox3]

@NutsandGuts you tell bike manafaturers that, and they will give you sales figures...

[conosingorritou]

bien, solo falto explicar más sobre los tipos de freno de disco, caliper flotante o caliper fijo.

[kornlafr]

me lo traduc

en al español??
