How Does a Car Braking System Work?
1 Answers
The working principle of a car braking system is to generate significant friction, converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into thermal energy, thereby achieving the braking effect. The components of a car hydraulic braking system are: 1. Control System: Pedal, handbrake. 2. Hydraulic System: Composed of hydraulic fluid, brake pump, and hydraulic lines. 3. Power Assist System: Vacuum booster pump. 4. Electronic Control System: Composed of ABS pump, ABS sensors, and ABS computer. 5. Execution System: Composed of brake calipers, brake pads, and brake discs. Additional Information: 1. A car braking system refers to a series of specialized devices that apply a certain force to specific parts of the car to enforce a certain degree of braking. 2. The functions of the braking system are: to enable a moving car to decelerate or even stop as required by the driver; to keep a parked car stationary under various road conditions; and to maintain a stable speed for a car moving downhill.
