Is the Brake Pedal the Clutch?
1 Answers
The brake pedal is not the clutch. The clutch belongs to the transmission system, while the brake is part of the braking system. Below are detailed introductions about the clutch and brake: 1. Clutch working principle: The clutch works by separating the engine from the transmission when the clutch pedal is pressed down. The release bearing disengages the engine from the transmission, allowing gear shifting when the clutch is disengaged. When the clutch pedal is released, the release bearing reconnects the engine and transmission. 2. Brake working principle: The brake operates by clamping the brake disc with the front brake pads when the brake pedal is pressed, while the rear wheels use brake pads to press against the brake drum. This is a physical friction phenomenon. When the brake pedal is released, the brake pads return to their original position.
