ABSTRACT:
A vibration damper for detecting vibrations of break pads and vibrating the pads in such a way as to damp the vibrations detected. The damper has the function of adjusting control constants for a control circuit according to the degree of deterioration with time, of the pads due to wear so that vibrations of the pads can be damped in an optimum manner. A vibration detector means detects frictional vibrations of the pads and the disk rotor. A control signal corresponding to the detected vibration frequency is applied to a vibrator means through a control circuit. When an input signal for correction timing is inputted from an ignition switch, a signal generator transmits a signal having a predetermined frequency to the vibrator means. The resulting vibration is detected by a signal detector. Based on the detection signal, transfer functions for the control circuit are adjusted to suppress vibrations having squealing frequencies.
