What is Parking Brake?
1 Answers
Parking brake, also known as handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. Below is extended information about the electronic parking brake system: 1. Concept: The electronic parking brake system integrates the temporary braking function during driving and the long-term braking function after parking, and realizes parking braking through electronic control. 2. Working Principle: The electronic parking brake achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.
