What Causes the Clicking Sound When Braking in Reverse?
1 Answers
This phenomenon occurs when the brake caliper strikes the caliper bracket during reverse braking. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Under the influence of gravity, the brake caliper moves downward, and it is floatingly connected to the bracket. 2. When driving forward and applying the brakes, there is no play in the connection with the lower part of the brake bracket, so no sound is produced. 3. When braking in reverse, the brake caliper moves upward and strikes the upper bracket, causing the abnormal sound, which is a normal occurrence. Below is additional information about brakes: 1. A brake is a device that functions to decelerate, stop, or maintain the stopped state of moving parts (or machinery). 2. Brakes are mechanical components that stop or decelerate moving parts in machinery, commonly known as brakes or stops. 3. Brakes mainly consist of a brake frame, brake components, and an operating device. Some brakes are also equipped with automatic adjustment devices for brake component clearance. 4. To reduce braking torque and structural size, brakes are usually installed on the high-speed shaft of equipment. However, for large equipment with higher safety requirements (such as mine hoists, elevators, etc.), they should be installed on the low-speed shaft near the working part of the equipment.
