Merdeka.com - Ever notice your bike disc brakes? How can it be? Many holes and thin, right?Now, the question is, why the form of perforated disc brakes?
It turns out it is not a mere variations or models in order to look more cool. The form does have special functions.
According to M Abidin, GM After Sales & Motor Sport PT Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing, the shape of the holes that exist on the disc brake serves to reduce the metal heat during braking repeatedly.
"The function of these holes to reduce weight and extend cross-section of the release of heat during braking. The diameter of the disc and pad width (canvas) determine the amount of braking power," said Abidin as quoted from Otosia (7/9).
Hole in the disc brake function also makes it better than the drum, because the system is open.In contrast to the position enclosed drum brakes. Brake drum attached to the wheel resulting braking power only by 70 percent.
Because it does not use the braking system is open, then the drum brakes easily affected by heat. caused by brake device models covered. Furthermore, when the floods hit the brakes will not grip anymore because brake device filled with water.
