Is There a Difference Between Hydraulic Brakes and Disc Brakes?
1 Answers
Hydraulic brakes and disc brakes are different. Here are the relevant introductions to hydraulic brakes and disc brakes: Brake Lever Structure: Mechanical disc brake levers operate by pulling a cable, and you can see the cable inside. Hydraulic disc brake levers operate by compression and are enclosed. Transmission Method: Hydraulic brakes use the pressure of liquid oil to drive the hydraulic transmission device—the piston. The piston is pushed by pressure to squeeze the connected brake pads against the brake disc, achieving the braking effect. Hydraulic disc brakes transmit braking force through hydraulic pressure. Replacement Method: Hydraulic brakes require oil changes, but they won't function without oil. Disc brakes require brake pad replacements.
