Brake pads are friction materials that create stopping force by pressing against rotating brake discs or drums in automotive and industrial braking systems.
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | 8-15 mm (new), 2-3 mm (wear limit) | |
| Shear Strength | >10 MPa | |
| Compressibility | <2% at 70 bar | |
| Friction Coefficient | 0.35-0.45 (standard), 0.45-0.55 (performance) | |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to 600°C |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.

Typically every 40,000-70,000 miles, but depends on driving conditions, pad material, and vehicle type. Check when thickness reaches 3mm or as indicated by wear sensors.
Ceramic pads offer quieter operation, less dust, and consistent performance but are costlier. Semi-metallic pads provide better heat dissipation and cold performance but may produce more noise and dust.
