Brake systems

Brake system on SUV

SUV brake system is intended for two related functions: the first is to slow down the car up to a complete stop and maintain speed within the specified limits (for example, when descending), the second is the maintenance in the prescribed state.

highlight the following types of brake systems:

1. Working - reduces speed and performs a quick stopping of the vehicle.
3. Stoyanovy - is used for long -term car holding in one place.

Important! It should be noted that the maximum value of the brake force is affected by both load, the capacity of the device, and the coefficient of clutch. If all given conditions are equal - efficiency will depend on the features of the design of the mechanisms that produce a car braking.

There are also two types of brake mechanism - drum and disk. Consider all the "pros" and "minuses" of each of them.

Drum Brake System

This mechanism consists of rotating and fixed parts. The first is a brake drum (disk), the second - brake pads or ribbons.

Benefits:

• well protected from dirt;
• significant braking effort;
• the resource is much higher than in disk mechanisms (up to 120 thousand km);
• Simple design;
• Democratic price.
