Brake discs, brake discs shields 

When choosing brake pads the main purpose of the disc braking system is to change the speed of the vehicle. The mechanism has two parts: stationary and rotating. The first is the pads, and the second is the affordable brake discs.

Brake discs: design and features

A disc brake system consists of the following elements:

• Disk. It's placed on the wheel hub by means of fasteners. There are models that have ventilation holes to dissipate the heat generated during braking.
• The caliper is a cast iron body with an integral design. One part is rigidly attached, while the other moves horizontally in relation to the first. Parts are fixed with guide bushings.
• The cylinder is protected by a piston fitted with a rubber seal with oil and petrol resistant features. It is also supplemented with a bleed nipple for removing excess air.
• Brake pads is metal product supplemented with high quality friction pads that withstands abrasion. Fitted in a caliper on both sides of the brake disc.

Today, in online store of affordable brake discs, a wide selection of excellent quality spare parts is presented. Any car owner will be able to choose an option for his vehicle brand: audi, bmw, ford, honda, hyundai, lamborghini, mahindra, nissan, toyota, mercedes. There are markings on the packaging that indicate for which vehicle and what is included in the kit.

Types of brake parts

All affordable brake discs in the catalog are divided into groups:

• Non-ventilated ones consist of a plate supplemented with notches or slots.
• Ventilated ones have two plates with a void between them, they also have perforations or notches.
• Perforated ones are made using a through technique or a blasted, deaf one.
• The pass-through effectively copes with disk cooling and gas evacuation. But only it reduces the strength of the product.

Before buying an affordable brake disc, you need to choose one of the types of construction, and they can be composite and solid. The first type consists of a hub made of aluminum alloy, a cast iron alloy steel ring. They are fastened together with bolts that do not allow arbitrary untwisting. The second type is made from one metal blank, and after that it is additionally processed to a working form. When choosing the best price for affordable brake discs, one should not forget about their features and designs. Composite types are considered the most reliable, because they are protected from rapid deformation. They have perfect heat dissipation due to the fact that an aluminum alloy was used in the manufacture. They are also easier to repair, you need to replace the ring and everything that even a beginner can handle.

Materials of brake disc

Brake discs are constantly exposed to intense thermal stress during vehicle operation. That is why, during selection, you need to pay attention to the material from which they are made. It must be resistant to heat, abrasion and deformation. For a long time, the front discs were made of cast iron, but innovations made it possible to use practical alloys of nickel, chrome, vanadium and others. As a result, it allowed to increase the level of strength. If you need more expensive options, then you can pay attention to carbon and ceramic brake discs.
