A modular brake is a brake system characterized by its modularized structure.
Modularization of each component of the brake system simplifies assembly and maintenance processes, resulting in reduced manufacturing costs and lower failure rates. The fundamental operating principle resembles that of a conventional brake, where brake pads come into contact with the rotor to regulate wheel rotation through friction.
The structure of a modular brake typically includes components such as brake pads, rotors, calipers, master cylinders, and others.
These brakes find applications across various sectors including automobiles, industrial machinery, and railway vehicles. However, regular inspection for brake pad wear and rotor damage is essential during operation. Additionally, caution should be exercised to prevent impact and vibration during handling.
