What are the types of braking methods?
1 Answers
They are divided into two main categories: drum brakes and disc brakes (also known as disc brakes). Here is the relevant information: 1. Disc brakes or ventilated disc brakes: Also called disc brakes, when you look through the wheel gaps, you can see the brake disc, and the brake caliper is clamped on the brake disc. Nowadays, some advanced brake discs have hollow points for heat dissipation, hence the name ventilated disc brakes. 2. Drum brakes: These are less common now. When you look into the wheel gaps, there is a round iron box at the axle position, and you cannot see the brake disc or caliper. This is a drum brake. The combination of the two types of brakes is quite common. In the past, front and rear drum brakes were common, but now most vehicles have front and rear disc brakes, and some vehicles have front disc and rear drum brakes.
