Brake System

Service Brake System

Commonly used by road traffic, both foot brake operation, it is also called Foot Brake. After the driver depresses the brake pedal by a mechanical or hydraulic brake force will be transmitted to produce wheels of brake friction effect.

Parking Brake System

Parking brake, also known as the parking brake, the car dock, to prevent sliding of the vehicle brakes. Generally mounted on the intermediate shaft brake type, and the direct control of the rear wheel brake type two.

Master Cylinder and Wheel Cylinder

With some of the main hydraulic brakes, the brake oil in the top slot of saving pool, below is a cylinder with a piston. Piston in the cylinder by the brake pedal is re-worked by putting will be transmitted to the hydraulic cylinder wheel brake cylinder sub is also a hydraulic brake device, configure the wheel in the brake cylinder.

Power-Brake

To the engine vacuum and the role of subsidies and other hydraulic brake control Booster power brake.

Brake Lining

Brake shoe brake on the surface of the friction material posted, for large vehicles is riveted, while small cars are posted with the compression viscosity.

Brake Shoes

By the brake cam or the role of putting content pushed out to start suppression of brake drums, brake effect of the sky accessories, its Xingzhuang Si, such as half-moon.

Drum brakes

Floor by the brake, brake wheel cylinder, brake shoe so the connecting rod, spring, nail tip, composed of the brake drum. Currently only used in the rear general.

Disc Brakes

Use the piece of metal (plates) instead of drum, the brake disc has a flat on both sides of the brake shoes, when the brake master cylinder to the hydraulic pressure delivered to sub-cylinder, brake shoes to clamp to the brake discs to achieve the effect of brake tight and has been commonly used in the front, and some advanced vehicles are fitted with four-wheel disc brakes have the advantage of the role of sensitive, heat dissipation, do not adjust the brake clearance, and maintenance easy.

Brake Fluid

Hydraulic brake system uses liquid as brake fluid, it must have no chemical effect, not the impact of temperature on the metal and the rubber will not cause corrosion, softening, swelling of the effects of currently used are DOT3, DOT4 , DOT5.
