levyjarruissa
Levijarruissa is the Finnish term for disc brakes in automotive engineering. The system uses a rotating brake disc attached to a wheel and friction pads pressed against the disc by a brake caliper when hydraulic or mechanical force is applied, converting kinetic energy into heat.
Typical components include the brake disc (jarrulevy), brake pads (jarrupalat), caliper (jarrusatula), pistons, and the hydraulic
Operation is straightforward: pressing the brake pedal increases hydraulic pressure in the brake lines, causing the
Advantages and maintenance: disc brakes offer strong stopping power, good heat dissipation, and reliable performance in
Variants and design: disc brakes may use floating or fixed calipers, and single-piston or multi-piston configurations.
