1 Answers
Drum brakes can be classified into internally expanding type and externally contracting type based on the direction of movement of the brake shoes. Below is an introduction to the related aspects of brakes: Working Principle: Brakes provide resistance to stop a vehicle. The handbrake or parking gear in an automatic transmission serves as the vehicle's brake. The braking system used in cars is an electronic parking brake system, which combines temporary braking during driving with prolonged braking after stopping, controlled electronically. The working principle of parking brakes, whether electronic or mechanical handbrakes, involves generating friction between the brake pads and brake discs to achieve the braking effect. Types of Brakes: Generally, vehicle brakes can be divided into drum brakes and disc brakes. Small vehicles typically use drum brakes, also known as drum brake systems.
