1 The lining of a disc brake is part of an assembly
called the _____ ___.
brake pad
3 __________ ____ is not a problem with disc
brakes because, unlike a brake drum, the disc
brake rotor expands toward the brake linings as it
heats up rather than away from them.
mechanical fade
5 The caliper is free to move within a limited range
on an ______ _____ that is solidly mounted to the
vehicle suspension.
anchor plate
Although not required by law, a growing number of
vehicle manufacturers are fitting ___ ____
__________ to their brakes for safety reasons.
pad wear indicators
9 Unlike a floating caliper, the body of a _______
_______ mounts in direct metal-to-metal contact
with the anchor plate.
sliding caliper
13 The body of a ________ _______ does not make
direct metal-to-metal contact with the anchor plate.
floating caliber
18 _____ ____ is the amount of brake drum or rotor
friction surface that moves past the brake linings
every time the drum or rotor completes a rotation.
sweptarea
20 _____ ____ is not a big problem with disc brakes
because centrifugal force created by the spinning
rotor throws off most moisture, and the brake pads
positioned only a few thousandths of an inch away
from the rotor continuously wipe it clean.
water fade
21 _______ _______ take advantage of the oldest
method of lining attachment still in use.
rivetedlinings
22 A large press is used to force the ingredients
together to form a _____ _____, which eventually
becomes the brake lining.
brake block
23 Instead of pins and bushings, sliding calipers move
on ____ cast and machined into the caliper body
and anchor plate.
ways
2 Most calipers have __________ _____ or springs
that hold the pads in the caliper under tension to
help prevent vibration
anti rattle clips
4 Brake pads and linings that use synthetic material
such as aramid fibers instead of steel are usually
referred to as ___________
non asbestos
6 Some automakers call the floating caliper a ___-
______ _______.
pin slider caliper
7 A ___-____ _______ differs from a standard
caliper in the area of the square-cut O-ring.
low drag caliper
8 The _____ _____ _______ has a body
manufactured in two halves, and uses two, four, or
six pistons to apply the brake pads
fixed brake caliper
10 Carbon fiber material is often called ____.
cfrc
11 ____-______ _______ are found on some disc
brake pads.
mold bonded linings
12 ___ ____ is a problem only under severe braking
conditions when hot gases and dust particles from
the linings are trapped between the brake linings
and rotor, where they act as lubricants.
gas fade
14 The bond lowers the _______ _________ of the
pad, and the cushion layer dampens any vibration
that may still occur.
natural frequency
15 ______ ____ can and does occur if the brakes
become overheated
lining fade
16 ______ _______ use high-temperature adhesive to
glue the brake block directly to the shoe pad
backing plate.
bonded linings
17 Synthetic linings use ______ _____ instead of
metal as the base material.
aramid fiber
19 ______ is the Dupont brand name of aramid and a
