Brake pads are friction materials that convert kinetic energy to thermal energy through friction against rotors to decelerate vehicles.
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | 8-15 mm (new) | |
| Wear Limit | 2-3 mm remaining | |
| Shear Strength | >10 MPa | |
| Compressibility | <5% | |
| Friction Coefficient | 0.35-0.45 (μ) | |
| 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.
This component is used in the following industrial products
A safety-critical subsystem within the drive system that decelerates or stops a vehicle by converting kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction.
A safety-critical component that controls deceleration and stopping of a trolley.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
Manufacturer profiles associated with Brake Pads.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
Typically every 40,000-70,000 miles depending on driving conditions, material type, and vehicle usage. Always follow manufacturer recommendations and inspect pads regularly.
Three primary types: 1) Organic/non-asbestos organic (NAO) - quiet with moderate wear; 2) Semi-metallic - durable with good heat dissipation; 3) Ceramic - low dust, stable performance, and longer lifespan.
Common causes include: vibration between pad and caliper, glazed pads/rotors, worn shims or anti-rattle clips, high-frequency vibration from pad material composition, or contamination on friction surfaces.
