Premium Framed Print : Car disc brake

Car disc brake
Car disc brake. This device is found inside a car wheel. The metal disc surrounds the hub of the wheel. The main part of the wheel and the outer tyre have been removed. The brake pads (lower left) fit either side of the disc and are forced together to slow and stop the disc and wheel by applying friction. This is done using mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic forces. The suspension (the spring) for the wheel is seen at top. This disc brake is from a Land Rover, a British-manufactured all- terrain vehicle

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate inner workings of a car disc brake, providing a glimpse into the realm of automotive engineering. The image reveals a metal disc enveloping the wheel's hub, with both the main part of the wheel and outer tire removed to expose this crucial component. Positioned on either side of the disc are brake pads, which exert pressure to slow down and ultimately halt both the disc and wheel by generating friction. This process can be accomplished through mechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic forces. Atop this fascinating mechanism lies the suspension system in all its spring-loaded glory. Originating from a Land Rover - an iconic British-manufactured all-terrain vehicle renowned for its robustness - this particular disc brake exemplifies cutting-edge technology within transportation. The photograph exudes an industrial aesthetic with hints of grease and oil that underscore its mechanical nature. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity in designing complex systems that ensure safe and efficient braking performance for motor vehicles. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this single component's significance within modern-day transport while highlighting key elements such as metal engineering, technological advancements, and friction-based mechanisms.
