Rotors are commonly found in various types of machinery and vehicles, including helicopters, which use rotating blades for lift, and wind turbines, where rotors capture wind energy to generate electricity. Additionally, many types of engines, such as those in certain cars and motorcycles, have rotors in their braking systems to enhance performance. Other examples include drones, where rotors provide thrust, and certain industrial equipment like fans and pumps that utilize rotating components for airflow and fluid movement.
What else can I help you with?
How much heat is expected after changing brake pads and rotors?
Some as the pads and rotors break in but it shouldn't be excessive.
Can the front rotors be put on for the back rotors?
There have been thousands of different vehicle models over the course of the 110 or so years of mass vehicle production. No doubt some of them have interchangeable rotors.
How do you remove front brake discs?
Brake rotor removal varies on different vehicle. You must first remove the caliper. Some brake rotors simply come off after this. Some rotors are fastened to the hub by screws. Some rotors are bolted to the hub, and the wheel bearings must be removed.
What do auto technicians work on?
Auto technicians work on cars. They fix things under the hood, such as with the engine or a starter. They can also change brakes and rotors, along with some damages.
When brakes start grinding is it just pads or rotors too?
The grinding noise is from the the pads being gone and rotors being grinded away. Unless it was just some rust on the rotors from sitting for days.
How much do the rotors cost on a 95 Oldsmobile cutlass?
The 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass brake rotors will cost approximately $40 per wheel. The rotors can be as cheap as $25 at some discount auto-parts stores.
Why are some helicopter rotors enclosed?
Rotors are never enclosed. The control propellor is sometimes enclosed because the designer feels it is safer and more aerodynamic.
Do you need a torque wrench when replacing pads and rotors?
You do not need a torque wrench when replacing brake pads and rotors. Some of the tools needed to change the rotors and pads are the c-clamp, sockets, wrench, grease, and brake cleaner.
Why do the front rotors on my 1996 Buick Le Sabre keep warping?
Rotors normally warp due to two things. Either the wheels were install with the lug nuts torqued too much or heat has warped the rotors. The lug nuts must be torqued to exactly the factory recommended lb/ft. Too tight and the rotors will warp. Also excessive heat from riding the brake pedal or from lots of stops from high speed will warp the rotors.
Why don't helicopters have two rotors?
Some do. The CH-47 has two.
Do you need to turn the rotors on a 99 Explorer before replacing the pads?
Depends on 2 things, Do they shake when you step on the brakes or are there grooves in your rotors? If you answer yes to either of those 2 questions I would say yes
When changing the brake pads on a Mercedes ML320 can you skip the turning of the rotors if the rotor is smooth and hasn't gone metal to metal?
Yes, as long as it's not warped or anything. The rotors on my cars are also smooth & not warped and I've never turned the rotors in 140,000 miles. Some people turn the rotors as a matter of fact.
