Mini Cooper Rear Brake Rotor
About rear brake rotor
A brake rotor comprises of two discs for the brake pads which are to be press against, as well as provide a ribbed support for heat dissipation between the discs. The friction between the pads and rotors transforms the rotational energy into heat, which will enable stopping to your vehicle. Much of these are flush surface discs. There are also rotors which are both drilled and slotted.
What is the purpose of rear brake rotor?
The rotors are the circular discs attached to each wheel (two at the front and two at the back). Rotors would have been designed to convert motion (kinetic energy) into heat energy. As the calipers would squeeze your brake pads together, friction would be created from the large surface area of the rotors.
How rear brake rotor works?
Rotors will operate hand in hand with brake pads to halt the vehicle. When you step up the brake pedal, the brake pads of the car will be squeezed against the friction-creating rotor. This friction will allow your vehicle to stop while generating tremendous heat, too. The rotors contain two iron discs that are bound by ribs.
