What are the professional terms for clutch, brake, accelerator, and handbrake?
1 Answers
The professional terms for clutch, accelerator, and brake are the terms themselves, while the professional term for handbrake is parking brake. The function of the parking brake: The parking brake provides resistance to the car when parked to prevent it from rolling. The parking brake, also known as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The force of the parking brake is much weaker than that of the service brake. The principle of the parking brake: The parking brake uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake to apply braking force to the car. Long-term use of the handbrake can cause plastic deformation of the steel cable. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness, and the travel of the parking brake will also increase.
