What should be noted when using a vehicle hydraulic retarder?
1 Answers
When using a vehicle hydraulic retarder, it should be noted that the hydraulic retarder is an auxiliary braking device and cannot replace the service brake or parking brake. In case of emergency braking situations, the service brake should be decisively used. The hydraulic retarder should be used with caution on sharp bends or continuous winding roads. Below is a detailed introduction about vehicle hydraulic retarders: 1. Overview: A hydraulic retarder is a type of vehicle retarder that reduces the vehicle's speed through a hydraulic device. It is also known as a hydraulic deceleration device. When a vehicle is descending a long slope, using the exhaust brake provides limited braking effect. 2. Others: The stator of the hydraulic retarder is the retarder housing, connected to the rear of the transmission or the vehicle frame, while the rotor is connected to the drive shaft via a hollow shaft. Both the rotor and stator are cast with blades. The hydraulic retarder can be installed either in front of or behind the transmission.
