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.
