BRAKE SYSTEMS FOR CARS&TRUCKS: KETAI INDUSTRIES EXPLAINED

IMG_9116.JPG

A braking system is your first line of safety on the road. Therefore, keeping all components maintained well makes the difference between encountering a huge accident on the road. Due to its importance, a wise idea not to overlook your brake system and monitor the vehicle conditions regularly. KETAI Industries specializes in high-performance aftermarket brake systems and brake components, and ready to bring its own expertise and outmatched products to the customers.

 

BRAKE PADS

Brake pads contact your rotors and cause friction to slow and stop your car. Brake pads are the most sensitive friction part in a braking system, between all the constraints from the brake discs and the piston of the caliper.

Focusing on quality and innovation, KETAI Industries provides brake pads for a wide range of American, European, and Asian cars with its knowledge as a prominent Chinese supplier in the automotive industry, with solutions dedicated to the aftermarket.

BRAKE SHOES

While brake pads and brake shoes perform similar functions, they are not the same thing. Brake pads are part of a disc brake system. In such systems, brake pads are squeezed together by a caliper against a rotor disc to generate the friction needed to stop the car. Brake shoes are crescent-shaped components with rough friction material on one side. They sit inside of a brake drum. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake shoes are forced outward, pushing against the inside of the brake drum and slowing down the wheel.

All KETAI brake shoes fulfill the strict OEM standards and undergo many steps of evaluation and testing. Choose your Brake shoes on https://ktc-china.com/en/brake-shoes (download or access online).



BRAKE DISCS

Most modern vehicles use a brake system comprised of disc brakes. They are called such because they use force applied upon discs attached to the wheels to slow and stop a car. When the brake pedal is applied, brake fluid creates pressure and squeezes the brake pad against the rotor, and creates friction. This friction slows the rotation of the wheels and the car itself. Compared to drum brakes, disc brakes provide the greater stopping power and don’t overheat as quickly under heavy use.

The KETAI brake discs catalog is composed of over 2500 references covering a wide range of vehicles such FORD, OPEL, AUDI, SKODA, RENAULT, HYUNDAI, TOYOTA, and many others. Choose your Brake discs on https://ktc-china.com/en/brake-disks (download or access online).

 

BRAKE CALIPERS

A caliper is part of the disc brake system, the type most cars have in their front brakes. The brake caliper houses your car’s brake pads and pistons. Its job is to slow the car’s wheels by creating friction with the brake rotors. The brake caliper fits like a clamp on a wheel’s rotor to stop the wheel from turning when you step on the brakes. Inside each caliper is a pair of metal plates known as brake pads. When you push the brake pedal, brake fluid creates pressure on pistons in the brake caliper, forcing the pads against the brake rotor and slowing your car.

BRAKE POWER ACCUMULATORS

The brake power accumulator is a storage device in which the hydraulic pressure that is required for the brake’s hold-release-reapply cycle is stored. The accumulator plays an important role in the anti-lock brake system that is normally activated when the emergency brakes are applied. This means that when the accumulator becomes faulty, then chances are that the vehicle’s braking system may be faulty as well.

The KETAI brake power catalog has over 250 references covering a wide range of models, depending on the type, stroke, ports, pushrods, etc. Choose your Brake power accumulators on https://ktc-china.com/en/accumulators (download or access online).

 

BRAKE LININGS

Brake lining is an integral part of the braking system. The brake lining material is attached to a metal backing, such as a brake shoe, usually with heat-resistant rivets or joints. The lining comes into contact with the rotors creating enough friction to slow them down. The brake lining protects the rotors from coming into direct contact with the metal backing. This prevents them from wearing out quickly and needing frequent replacing.

Note: KETAI Industries does not produce asbestos-based brake lining because this material causes cancer. Instead of that, the production focuses on the three kinds of brake lining material: non-asbestos, semi-metallic, and ceramic friction.

Non-asbestos is an organic lining that is environmentally friendly and durable, primarily consisting of rubber, glass, various types of resin. Only a small amount of metal makes up this kind of lining.

Semi-Metallic Brake Lining. Many kinds of metals make up semi-metallic brakes, usually brass, copper, and steel. These brake linings are durable, cheap, and easily maintained.

Ceramic Friction Brake Lining is high-end brake pads that are lightweight due to their copper construction. They are efficient at heat dissipation and help reduce metal-to-metal wear. These pads are common with most high-performance vehicles on the market today.

SLACK ADJUSTERS

Slack adjusters are mechanical links between the brake-chamber push rod and the camshaft on cam-type brakes. Slack adjusters are used to manually or automatically maintain proper brake chamber stroke and lining-to-drum clearance during normal operation. The entire slack adjuster operates as a unit, rotating with the brake camshaft as brakes are applied or released. The most efficient braking occurs when push rod travel is held to a minimum, therefore it is important that brake adjustments are made often.

In the KETAI Industries catalog, slack adjusters are available in a variety of arm configurations, lengths, torque ratings, and spline types. Choose your Slack Adjusters on https://ktc-china.com/en/slack-adjuster (download or access online).
