What are the classifications of brakes?
1 Answers
Brakes can be classified as follows: 1. By friction: Friction brakes, which rely on the friction between the brake component and the moving part to brake. Non-friction brakes, whose structural forms mainly include magnetic particle brakes (using the shear force generated by magnetizing magnetic particles to brake), eddy current brakes (adjusting the braking torque by regulating the excitation current), and water eddy current brakes. 2. By brake component structure: Divided into external block brakes, internal expanding shoe brakes, band brakes, disc brakes, etc. 3. By working state: Divided into normally closed brakes (usually in a tightened state, requiring external force to release the brake) and normally open brakes (usually in a released state, requiring external force to brake). 4. By control method: Divided into manually operated, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromagnetic brakes.
