Why does the Sylphy use a foot brake?
1 Answers
The principle of the Sylphy's foot brake is the same as that of a handbrake, with high stability and no risk of failure. The following are the differences between a foot brake and a handbrake: 1. Usage scenarios: The foot brake is used while the vehicle is in motion; the handbrake is used after the vehicle has stopped. 2. Functions: The foot brake stops or slows down a moving vehicle; the handbrake prevents the vehicle from moving after parking. 3. Classification: The foot brake is divided into disc and drum types; the handbrake is divided into electronic and mechanical types. 4. Additional information: The foot brake is the vehicle's main brake, where mechanical force from the brake pedal is converted into hydraulic pressure, and the hydraulic pressure is transmitted through the lines to the brake disc actuator. The handbrake is an auxiliary brake, with steel cables connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force to the vehicle.
