The Disk Brakes are used for stopping the wheel rotation. A disk brake or disc brake is made up of cast iron or ceramic composites, including of carbon, kevlar and silica. It is connected to the wheel and/or the axle. For stopping the wheel , friction material in the form of brake pads is forced mechanically, hydraulically, pneumatically or electromagnetically against both sides of the disk. Due to the friction, disk and attached wheel gets slow or stop.
History
Disk brakes were first used in england in 1890. Frederick William Lanchester in his Birmingham factory in 1902, patented the first ever automobile disk brakes, though it took another half century for his innovation to be widely adopted. In 1949, modern style disk brakes were first appeared on the low volume Crosley Hotshot. although they had to be discontinued in 1950 due to design problems. Chrysler's Imperial also offered another disk type brake from 1949 through 1953. In the UK entrusted modern disk brakes were developed by Dunlop and first appeared in 1953 on the Jaguar C-Type racing car.
Disks
The disks designs are changeable from place to place. Some disks are made up of simply solid cast iron and others are hollowed out with fins or vanes joining together the disk's two contact surfaces (usually included as part of a casting process). This "ventilated" disk design helps to dissipate the generated heat and is commonly used on the more-heavily-loaded front disks.
