What is the difference between hydraulic brakes and disc brakes?
1 Answers
The differences between hydraulic brakes and disc brakes are as follows: 1. Different brake lever structures: The lever of a mechanical disc brake operates by pulling a cable, and you can see the cable inside. In contrast, the lever of a hydraulic disc brake operates by compression and is enclosed. 2. Different transmission methods: Hydraulic brakes use the pressure of liquid oil to drive the hydraulic transmission device—the piston. The piston is pushed by the pressure, thereby squeezing the connected brake pads to clamp the brake disc, achieving the braking effect. This is done through hydraulic disc brakes, which use hydraulic transmission for braking. 3. Different replacement methods: Hydraulic brakes require oil changes, but they won't function without oil. Disc brakes require brake pad replacements.
