wear out over time.
5. Applications: Drum brakes are commonly used in rear brake systems of many
vehicles, particularly in older or less expensive models. They are also found in the
parking brake system of some vehicles.
Disc Brake:

1. Design: Disc brakes consist of a flat disc (rotor) mounted on the wheel hub,
with brake calipers containing brake pads positioned on either side of the rotor.
The brake pads are lined with friction material (often made of ceramic, metallic,
or organic compounds) that presses against the rotor to generate friction and
slow down the vehicle.
2. Operation: When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure is applied to
pistons inside the brake calipers. This causes the brake pads to press against
the rotor, creating friction and slowing down the rotation of the wheel.
3. Heat Dissipation: Disc brakes are more effective at dissipating heat compared
to drum brakes because the braking action occurs on an exposed rotor. This
helps prevent brake fade and maintains consistent braking performance,
especially under heavy braking conditions.
4. Maintenance: Disc brakes are generally simpler and easier to maintain
compared to drum brakes. Components such as brake pads, rotors, and calipers
may need to be periodically inspected and replaced as they wear out over time.
5. Applications: Disc brakes are commonly used in the front brake systems of
most modern vehicles due to their superior braking performance, heat
dissipation, and ease of maintenance. They are also increasingly being used in
rear brake systems and high-performance applications.

In summary, drum brakes and disc brakes are two types of braking systems used in
vehicles, each with its own advantages and limitations. While drum brakes are
simpler and often found in older or less expensive vehicles.
