Brake Rotors: Flat disk-like plates that provide the friction surface in a disc brake. When hydraulic pressure is applied to the caliper, the brake pads are squeezed against both sides of the rotor producing friction and heat.
Some rotors have cooling fins between both faces and are called "vented" rotors. The rotors should always be resurfaced when new pads are installed. If worn beyond safe limits, cracked or severely warped, the rotor must be replaced.
