Ram 1500 Disc Brake Pads

Originally introduced in the 1950s, disc brakes are part of the standard equipment of most modern vehicles. In most cases, the disc brakes are more reliable and efficient than drum brakes. The function of a typical disc brake is quite simple: a caliper forces the brake pads against a rotor which spins with the wheel axle, hence slowing down or stopping the rotational movement. While braking, the kinetic energy of the vehicle is converted in heat, and most modern disc brakes are vented for better cooling. Moreover, disc brakes are self-adjusting, being able to regain a central and balanced position after braking. The Ram 1500 features a reliable braking system, but there comes a time in the lifespan of every vehicle when worn pads should be replaced.

The force to stop the vehicle is transmitted hydraulically to the calipers, while the rotors provide the friction surface. The brake pads create considerable friction and get extremely hot. The pads are usually made from a metallic, semi-metallic, ceramic, or organic compound attached to the metal plate.
