No.1 for Braking When applying your brakes, every centimetre counts. For this reason, the febi braking range only consists of OE matching quality products to guarantee an unquestionable stopping performance in all driving conditions. Driver safety is always our top priority, which is why our certified Quality Management department stringently tests all brake components for various requirements and standards. We offer our customers a wide range of brake friction products - from discs and pads, to drums and shoes.
The brake disc rotates with the wheel. If the brake pedal is depressed, the brake pads are pressed against the brake disc by a piston in the brake caliper. The friction generated slows down the disc and thus the vehicle.
Our brake pads are characterised by high shear strength, an excellent stability friction coefficient, low noise levels and minimal vibration. This is how we guarantee a safe and comfortable braking operation.
Typically, drum brakes are used in the rear braking system of smaller passenger cars; they also have the proven ability to serve as a parking brake, which can be combined within a disc brake on some larger vehicles. With this system, friction is generated by pressing the brake linings against the inside surfaces of the drums which rotate with the wheel. Thanks to this rotation, the brake shoes are pressed against the drum with greater force, thus slowing it down.
