Bleed screw

BLEED SCREW
*It is a device used to create a temporary opening
in an closed hydraulic system

*Mostly located on top periphery of the callipers

*Fluid gets out of the setup through bleed screw

nipple
WHAT IS BLEEDING
It is removing any trapped air from the hydraulic system.

Common reasons

*whenever any hydraulic brake line or unit is opened

(through very small holes)

*moisture is absorbed by brake fluid( boiling point of the

brake fluid is reduced create air bubbles in the hydraulic
brake system)
PROCESS
Factors to be considered (Material
selection)
*Yield strength ; (screw undergoes frequent loading and unloading throughout the process)

*Temperature; (dissipation of heat is essential in the braking system)

*Corrosion Resistant; ( corroded bleeder screw often gets stuck to calliper)

*Wear resistant; (as it involves frequent using of bleeder screw throughout the process)

*Structure; (removing the screw becomes quiet easy. )

ZINC STAINTLESS STEEL STEEL
 BRAKE PADS:

•Brake pads are a component of disc brakes composed of steel

backing plates with friction material bound to the surface that faces
the disc brake rotor.

Design factors and Material factors to be considered:

 Break chamfer ; an angled cut while helping it bed into the rotor
more effectively.
Break slots; Slots or channels have two functions in a brake pad.
 Brake Pad Backing Plate; To minimize flexing and to increase
stability of car(Thickness should be more)
 Bedding of brake pads: *static method *dynamic method
 Ability to resist brake fade
 Friction coefficient
 Resist wear due to friction(Abrasive friction)
 Ability to resist moisture effect
CERAMIC SEMIMETALIC

Pros:
*Quieter than semi-metallic pads
*produce less dust than semi-metallic pads, resulting
in cleaner wheels
*Longer lasting than semi-metallic pads, due to
improved durability
Cons:
*More expensive upfront than semi-metallic pads
*Generally cause more wear on brake rotors than
metallic
*Not recommended for racing or heavy-duty towing
Pros:
*Effective grip even when cold – great for colder
climates and driving habits that require short trips
*Less expensive than ceramic pads
*Typically easier on rotors than ceramic pads
Cons:
*Mildly Louder than ceramic pads
*Generate more black dust that sticks to wheels
Shorter life span than ceramic pads
