When you press the brakes your vehicle, an enormous amount of friction is created between the brake calipers and the brake rotors. When everything is working correctly, the brake pads will absorb most of the friction and the rotors will only absorb a small portion. This keeps the braking system functioning as expected.
Every time the brake pedal is depressed, brake fluid changes the pressure in the brake lines and causes the brake calipers to squeeze the wheel brake rotors. This action then slows and eventually stops the vehicle. The braking process creates a great amount of friction, which is mostly absorbed by brake pads that are placed between the calipers and the rotors. This naturally wears down the brake pads until they become too thin to act as a buffer. If the vehicle is continually braked with worn pads, the rotors can become damaged by the calipers.
