Disc brakes or disc brakes are a car braking system whose working concept utilizes additional components in the form of disc rotor or a disc that will be clamped by two brake canvases, to slow down tire rotation.
Car disc brakes have better heat radiation when the disc is exposed to water, so the drying process is fairly fast. The disc brake design is also very good. There are at least several disadvantages of brakes that you need to know about.
Disc brakes are not strong enough to withstand heavy loads
Brake pads do have a limited area and this means that the friction media is also limited. This condition makes braking power limited. With the limitations experienced, then the braking will not support the weight of a large load.
Disc brakes require a large braking force, if you want to produce better and better quality braking. This is one of the reasons why cars with high loads use disc brakes in their braking system.
Requires Additional Components to Enlarge Styles
When disc brakes require greater braking force, then it is necessary to add a brake booster component. With a brake booster component, then the car can brake with great force.
Basically, Brake booster is useful for increasing braking force, so it will be very light for drivers who press the brake pedal.
Wheel Rims Get Dirty More Easily
Disc brakes can cause the rims to get dirty or dusty more easily, This is due to the open construction of the disc brakes and this condition will cause dust from the brake pads to stick to the parts wheel rims. For beginner drivers and new car owners, then you have to clean it regularly wheel rims so that the car's appearance remains cool.
