Disk Brake

A disk brake, also known as a rotor brake, is a type of braking system used in automobiles and bicycles. It consists of a metal disk, called a rotor, that rotates with the wheel. When the brake is applied, a caliper equipped with brake pads clamps onto the rotor, generating friction and slowing down or stopping the rotation of the wheel.
