The Disc Brake is a braking system normally used for vehicles, in which a moving part, the disc, in conjunction with the rotating wheel or the rotating axle, is subjected to the friction of surfaces with a high coefficient of friction, the brake pads, which exert sufficient force on them to transform all or part of the kinetic energy of the vehicle in motion into heat, until it stops or reduces its speed, as the case may be.

This immense amount of heat has to be evacuated in some way, and as quickly as possible. The mechanism is similar in this respect to the drum brake, with the difference that the braking surface is smaller but the heat dissipation to the environment is much better, largely compensating for the smaller braking surface.
