Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Volkswagen Atlas brake system is comprised of the following key components:

• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Volkswagen Atlas brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to initiate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Volkswagen Atlas.
• Backing plate & return spring holds your Volkswagen Atlas braking system together so it can function properly.
• Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Volkswagen Atlas brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined invariably for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Volkswagen Atlas maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.
• Rotors also called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are many types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your Volkswagen Atlas
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Volkswagen Atlas rotors to slow or stop your car.
• Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's immensely critical to keep Volkswagen Atlas brake pads fresh by replacing them as they go through quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Volkswagen Atlas maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which still acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can still cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate still protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will uniformly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Often, the more pistons in a caliper, the more uniformly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
