Technical Function & Working Principle Of JCB 478/00849 Brake Pad Set
Brake pads are essential components of the friction braking system. The JCB 478/00849 set is mounted inside the brake assembly and presses against a rotating drum or disc when the brake is engaged.
When the operator applies the brake:
- Hydraulic or mechanical force pushes the pads outward
- The friction material contacts the rotating surface
- Kinetic energy is converted into heat
- The machine slows down or comes to a complete stop
These pads are manufactured using high-friction, heat-resistant materials to ensure:
- Consistent braking performance
- Reduced brake fade under heavy loads
- Long service intervals
Their precise dimensions (approx. 60 mm diameter and 5.5 mm thickness) ensure proper contact and even wear .
