WHY DISK BRAKES?
Why disk brakes in a truck or bus that travels in excess of 65
mph?
Higher traffic density, greater chances of emergency braking
Disk brakes provide optimum braking while retaining directional
stability
Higher vehicle speeds with full loads
Higher vehicle speeds with full loads
Improved road handling

Why are disk brakes more efficient?
Full friction surface of the brake pad on the plane brake
disk
No loss of brake power due to overheating or partial contact
from brakedrum
Disk brakes can withstand higher loads
Higher residual brake force after repeating braking
Brake disks can withstand extremely high temperatures
Full contact of brake pads achieve maximum effect
Dangerous fading or slipping is almost completely eliminated

Sensitive braking in all situations and better
Sensitive brake application and better brake feeling
Uniform braking from small fluctuations in brake forces
Basic design principle makes for higher efficiency
Low hysteresis is particularly suitable to ABS control
cycles
Disk brake axial arrangement permits a simple and compact
des

Why are disk brakes more economical?
Clear economic benefits due to long service life and reduced
maintenance
Long service life of disks and pads versus drum brakes
Shorter service downtime due to quick pad changes
Optimized cooling resulting from open sliding caliper design
Maintenance free brake components
Good access for visual brake components checks

Why do disk brakes have higher safety reserves
Minimal braking effect from high temperatures and extreme
driving requireme
No brake disk distortion from extreme heat due to internal
ventilation
shorter braking distances
High power and safety reserves for emergencies
Constant braking power under high stresses

Conclusion
All friction brakes (drum and disk) have wear parts and are
unsuitable forcontinuous braking.
Disk brakes are not a substitute for an engine brake .
Disk brakes offers safety in any situation
