The disc brake system is an effective braking mechanism that slows and stops a vehicle by clamping brake pads mounted in a caliper against a rotating disc (rotor) attached to the wheel hub. This system converts kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction and is commonly used on front wheels, with increasing adoption on all four wheels. Structure and Operating Principle The disc brake mechanism consists of a brake disc (rotor), caliper assembly, brake hydraulic cylinder/piston, brake pads

The drum brake system is a mechanical system that generates friction by pushing brake shoes against the rotating inner surface of a drum attached to the wheel, thereby slowing or stopping the vehicle. It is commonly used on the rear wheels of vehicles, integrated with the parking brake mechanism, to provide safe parking functionality. Structure and Operating Principle In this system, a hollow, cylindrical component called the drum rotates with the wheel hub. When braking is applied, the hydrauli
