The importance of shims, slots and chamfers
Shims
- Stamped metal plates coated with sound damping materials improve noise abatement and vibration for the life of the pad
- Placed on backside of backing plate to help reduce the vibrations that cause brakes to squeal
Slots
- Vertical grooves cut in brake pads
- Significantly reduce pad bending when heated in normal braking conditions
- Reduce noise that can result from pads that have become concave
- Reduce brake fade by providing passage for gases and dust to escape at high brake temperatures
Chamfers
- Angled or beveled edges on the leading and trailing ends of the brake pads
- Chamfers on leading edge of brake pads reduce digging into the rotor
- Help eliminate stick/slip vibration, which causes brake noise
