Study Notes

Limitations of Mechanical Brake Systems

  • Mechanical brake systems offer less precise control over braking compared to hydraulic systems, affecting overall driving experience.
  • This limitation is particularly noticeable in situations requiring delicate or precise braking maneuvers.

Disk Brake Components

  • Master Cylinder: converts mechanical force into hydraulic pressure to transmit force from the brake pedal to the brakes.
  • Master Cylinder: allows the vehicle to stop or slow down.
  • Brake pads: press against the disc to stop the vehicle.
  • Disk Brake System: efficient, responsive, and known for its heat dissipation capability.

Mechanical Brake System Design

  • Involves the use of control rods and cables to convert mechanical motion into braking force.
  • Mechanical brake system design: basic and simple.
