Are the handbrake and foot brake of a car the same brake pad?
1 Answers
Handbrake and foot brake of a car are not the same brake pad. Introduction to handbrake: The handbrake, commonly known as the parking brake, is a braking device that keeps the vehicle stationary when parked, and it only brakes the two rear wheels. The foot brake is commonly known as the service brake, which is a braking device used to slow down the vehicle until it comes to a complete stop during motion, used in situations such as deceleration and temporary stops. Introduction to foot brake: The foot brake is the main brake of the vehicle. The transmission of braking force involves the mechanical force from the brake pedal being converted into hydraulic pressure, and the hydraulic pressure of the brake fluid is transmitted through pipelines to the brake discs. It provides strong braking force and is easy and effortless to control. It is the braking device used during normal driving, acting on all four wheels. More importantly, the hydraulic system only functions when the engine is running.
