Single Disk Brake

A single disc brake, also known as a single rotor brake, is a type of braking system commonly used in vehicles. It consists of a single disc or rotor attached to the wheel hub, and a caliper that houses the brake pads. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure is applied to the caliper, causing the brake pads to squeeze against the rotor, creating friction and slowing down the vehicle.

Single disc brakes are typically found in smaller vehicles, such as motorcycles, scooters, and some compact cars. They are simpler and less expensive compared to dual disc brake systems, which use two rotors and calipers for increased braking power. However, single disc brakes may not provide the same level of stopping power as dual disc brakes, especially in high-performance or heavy-duty applications.

It's important to note that the effectiveness of a single disc brake system depends on various factors, including the size and quality of the rotor, the design of the caliper and brake pads, and the overall condition of the braking system. Regular maintenance and inspection are crucial to ensure optimal performance and safety.
