What is the working principle of the braking device?

Braking system generally works by using the mutual friction between the non-rotating elements connected to the body (or frame) and the rotating elements connected to the wheels (or drive shaft) to prevent the rotation or tendency of rotation of the wheels. A brake is a device that has the function of decelerating, stopping, or maintaining the stop state of moving parts (or moving machinery). It is a mechanical component that stops or decelerates moving parts in machinery, commonly known as the brake. The brake is mainly composed of the brake frame, braking components, and operating device. More details are as follows: 1. Some brakes are also equipped with automatic adjustment devices for the clearance of braking components. To reduce braking torque and structural size, brakes are usually installed on the high-speed shaft of the equipment, but for large equipment with higher safety requirements (such as mine hoists, elevators, etc.), they should be installed on the low-speed shaft close to the working part of the equipment. 2. Brakes (brake-staff) can be divided into two major categories: industrial brakes and automotive brakes. Automotive brakes are further divided into service brakes (foot brake) and parking brakes (hand brake). During driving, the service brake (foot brake) is generally used to facilitate deceleration and stopping while moving forward, not just to keep the car stationary. The parking brake is used only when the service brake fails. When the vehicle is stationary, the parking brake (hand brake) is used to prevent the vehicle from moving forward or backward.
