What is the Service Brake? And What is the Brake Pedal?
1 Answers
Introduction to the meanings of the service brake and the brake pedal: 1. Service Brake: Usually refers to the foot brake or hand brake of a car, commonly known as the brake. The service brake allows for anticipatory stopping, which is a commonly used method. Anticipatory stopping involves consciously determining the desired stopping position in advance, first by decelerating the vehicle, then bringing it to a smooth stop at the intended location. 2. Brake Pedal: As the name suggests, the brake pedal is the pedal that limits power, i.e., the pedal for the foot brake (service brake), used for deceleration and stopping. Here is more detailed information: 1. Parking Brake: The parking brake, usually referring to the manually operated brake installed in motor vehicles, commonly known as the handbrake, is used to stabilize the vehicle after it has come to a stop, preventing accidents caused by rolling on inclined surfaces. 2. Engine Braking: Engine braking involves lifting the accelerator pedal without depressing the clutch, utilizing the compression resistance, internal friction, and intake/exhaust resistance generated by the engine's compression stroke to create a braking effect on the drive wheels.
