Brake Pad Performance Indicators
- Friction Coefficient: It is an important indicator for measuring the performance of brake pads, which determines the magnitude of the braking force generated by the brake pads. Generally speaking, the higher the friction coefficient, the better the braking effect of the brake pads. However, at the same time, it may cause greater wear on the brake disc, and in some cases, it may also affect the braking comfort. Different types of brake pads have different friction coefficients, which are usually between 0.3 and 0.5.
- Wear Rate: It reflects the wear rate of the brake pads during use. Brake pads with a low wear rate have a long service life, which can reduce the frequency of brake pad replacement and costs. The wear rate is affected by various factors, including the material of the brake pads, driving habits, driving road conditions, etc.
- High Temperature Resistance: During frequent braking or high-speed braking, a large amount of heat will be generated by the brake pads. Therefore, they need to have good high temperature resistance performance to prevent the performance degradation of the brake pads at high temperatures and ensure the stability of the braking effect.
