What is the formal name for brakes?
1 Answers
The formal name for automotive brakes is service brake, which refers to the action that can stop or reduce the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools, or machinery. Braking techniques: For vehicles without ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), excessive braking force may cause the tires to lock up, completely stopping rotation. However, the immense inertia will make the tires continue to skid along the road surface. In such situations, forcibly steering often leads to severe consequences like deviation, sideslip, fishtailing, or even rollover and loss of control. Therefore, such vehicles should use intermittent braking (pump braking) as much as possible during braking. This means gently releasing the brake pedal once or several times while braking to ensure effective control of the vehicle's direction and reduce the risk of danger. Classification of braking: Emergency braking: Pay attention to whether there is a risk of rear-end collision from following vehicles. If the vehicle ahead stops suddenly, after emergency braking, the driver should gently release the brake pedal to allow the car to roll forward slightly, giving the following vehicle some buffer space to avoid a rear-end collision. Daily braking: Master the braking force to ensure ride comfort as much as possible. The ideal braking force starts light, gradually increases, then decreases again until it reaches zero at the moment the vehicle stops. This operation can effectively prevent passengers from experiencing motion sickness.
