TYPE OF BRAKE
Disk brake; Disc brakes; Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes; Disk brakes; Brake piston; Rotor (brake); Brake caliper; Disc Brake; Hydraulic disc brakes; Hydraulic Disc Brake; Hydraulic Disc Brakes; Vented disk; Ventilated disc brake; Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake; Rear disc brakes; Brake disk; Brake disc; Railway disc brake; Aircraft disc brake; Bicycle disc brake; Motorcycle disc brake; Locomotive disc brake; Brake squeal; Brake judder; Brake dust; Brake discs; Railroad disc brake; Brake calipers
A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc or a "rotor" to create friction. This action slows the rotation of a shaft, such as a vehicle axle, either to reduce its rotational speed or to hold it stationary.

Examples of use of disc brake
1. Bombardier is still investigating what caused the millimeter–size cracks in 317 of the Acela‘s 1,440 disc brake rotors.
2. The disc brake pads are held in place by pressure from the caliper against the brake rotor.
3. Montreal–based Bombardier, Inc., which makes the Acela trains, has yet to disclose what caused the millimeter–size cracks in 317 of the Acela‘s 1,440 disc brake rotors.
4. Monday July 11, 2005 4÷01 PM WASHINGTON (AP) – Amtrak resumed limited Acela Express runs Monday morning, the first time the railroad‘s high–speed fleet has been in operation since it was pulled out of service in April due to cracks found in many of the trains‘ disc brake rotors.
