Brakes and suspension parts for Audi

The braking system of a vehicle has the function of reducing its speed and stopping it. In cars, brake pads are used, which, when braking, are pressed against rotating discs or drums and create resistance to rotation using friction force. Brake pads, discs, and drums are considered consumables and must be replaced when certain wear is reached. The stationary holding of the brake pads is provided by special devices called calipers. On passenger cars, hydraulic drive is mainly used; on trucks, pneumatic drive. Mechanical or electric drives are less commonly used. They are mainly used in the construction of the parking brake. To reduce the applied force, a vacuum or pneumatic brake booster is installed on the brake pedal. The braking system of vehicles is responsible for safety and is very important. In many countries, there are certain regulations that allow monitoring the technical condition of car brake systems. Almost always, these technical regulations are enshrined in law. More
