Where Are the Accelerator and Brake Pedals Located?
1 Answers
Cars have the accelerator pedal on the right and the brake pedal in the middle. Manual transmission vehicles have three pedals, arranged from left to right as the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. Automatic transmission vehicles have two pedals, arranged from left to right as the brake pedal and accelerator pedal. Below is some relevant information about brakes: 1. Working Principle: The general principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc to the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base. Under external force, this setup generates braking torque. 2. Classification: Brakes are further divided into drum brakes and disc brakes. Drum brakes use stationary brake shoes inside the brake drum to rub against the rotating drum, creating friction to reduce the wheel's rotation speed. Disc brakes use brake calipers to control two brake pads that clamp onto the brake disc attached to the wheel. When the brake pads clamp the disc, friction is generated between them.
