What does front and rear disc brake mean?
1 Answers
Front and rear disc brake means that both the front and rear wheels of a car use disc brakes. Brake classifications are as follows: Drum brake: Two semicircular brake shoes are installed inside the wheel hub, and the "lever principle" is used to push the brake shoes to make them contact and rub against the inner surface of the hub. Disc brake: A brake caliper controls two brake pads to clamp the brake disc on the wheel. When the brake pads clamp the disc, friction is generated between them. Anti-lock braking system (ABS): Most modern cars are equipped with ABS, which ensures that the car does not skid or lose control while braking, and allows the driver to maintain steering control. The principle of ABS is equivalent to manually creating intermittent braking, but this intermittent braking technology is faster and more frequent. The pressure of the brake can be automatically controlled by the car's computer based on the degree of wheel slip, so that the wheels keep rolling without locking up.
