Volvo Brake Pad

Brake pads convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat through
friction. Two brake pads are included in the brake with their friction surfaces
facing the rotor. When hydraulic braking is employed, the caliper clamps or
squeezes two brake pads together against the spinning rotor to slow and stop
the vehicle. When the brake pads heat up from contact with the rotor, it
transfers a small amount of friction material to the disc and leaves a dark
grey coating on the disc. The brake pads and discs then "stick" to each other,
providing the frictional force that stops the vehicle.
In disc brakes, there are usually two pads per disc rotor, which work together.
They are held in place and driven upright by calipers attached to the hub or
suspension. However, racing calipers can use up to six pads with different
friction characteristics in a staggered fashion for optimum performance. Brake
Disc wear rates may vary depending on material properties, vehicle weight and
driving speed. Volvo Brake pads usually have to be replaced regularly to
prevent brake fading. Most brake pads are equipped with a way to alert the
driver when they need to do so.
