What is the difference between air brakes and spring brakes?
1 Answers
The differences between air brakes and spring brakes are: 1. Different braking methods: The parking brake of a spring brake is a spring-actuated air brake, which is power-type; the parking brake of an air brake is a central disc brake, which is manual-type. 2. Different usage scenarios: The spring brake can be used as a parking brake and an emergency brake; the parking brake of an air brake is used when the vehicle is stationary. The maintenance methods for car brakes include: 1. High-temperature protection to prevent corrosion of the braking system; 2. Cleaning oil stains from brake discs, brake drums, and brake pads to ensure good heat dissipation; 3. Regularly replacing brake fluid; 4. Regularly checking the thickness of brake pads or brake shoes. The causes of brake failure are: 1. Impurities in the brake master cylinder or poor sealing; 2. Failure of the vacuum booster pump; 3. Dirty brake fluid; 4. Leakage in the brake master cylinder or wheel cylinder; 5. Leakage in the air reservoir or pipeline connections; 6. Severe overloading; 7. Carbonization of the brake drum; 8. Insufficient brake fluid in the brake master cylinder; 9. Wear of the brake master cylinder piston.
