What Is a Brake Rotor?
A brake rotor is a steel or carbon-ceramic disc connected to your car’s axle. These rotors turn in conjunction with the wheels as the car moves.
What Is a Brake Pad?
A brake pad is a small piece of friction material that slots into a brake caliper and, when braking pressure is applied, clamps down onto the brake rotor.
How Do Brake Rotors Work?
How brake rotors work is pretty simple, let’s break it down. As you now know, the brake rotors turn in conjunction with the car’s wheels as they move. When braking pressure is applied to the brake pedal, the pressure mechanically or electronically forces the brake pads to clamp down onto the brake rotor. This friction then reduces the speed of the vehicle.
