Also known as antiskid brakes, modern ABS systems electronically monitor the speed of the wheels and regulate the hydraulic pressure accordingly. The aim is to maximise braking power while preventing ...
A system designed to compensate for wear by adjusting brake shoes or callipers automatically.
Steel plate on which wheel cylinders(s), brake shoes and other drum brake parts are mounted.
Method of purging air from a brake system's hydraulic lines and cylinders. Air is compressible and contaminates brake fluid. It is released via a "bleeder valve" on each wheel cylinder.
Brake lining (friction material) attached to the brake shoe with adhesive.
The ratio of braking force distributed between the front and rear wheels.
The basis of a disc brake system: a round metal disc which rotates with the road wheel and, in order to generate braking power, is clamped by a calliper holding two friction linings (pads).
