*Working of A Brake
• Functions via forced delivered to a rotating body
• Assembly with a mechanical clutch
• Tightened or pressed with body to decelarate
• Generate intense heat and some noise
*Types Of Brakes

• Disk Brakes
• Drum Brakes
• Vacuum Brakes
• Air Brakes
• Hydraulic Brakes
• Railway Brakes
*Disk brake
• Uses calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a
disk

• Single piston floating caliper mainly used

• Main braking system in cars

• Used for instant breaking

• Used in cars, cycles , bikes etc.

*Construction of disk brake
*Drum Brakes
• Works on the principle of disk break

• Less expensive to manufacturer

• More spare parts used

• Useful in emergency breaking system

• Located on the rear wheels

• Mainly used in vehicles

*Construction of drum brake
*Hydraulic Braking

*Uses brake fluid

* Containing ethylene glycol, to transfer

pressure to braking system

*Mainly used in passenger vehicles , cars

etc.
*Construction
*Vacuum Breaking
• The vacuum in the brake pipe is created

• Maintained by a motor-driven exhauster

• Exhauster has 2 speeds

Low speed
High speed

• Specially used in trains

*Construction
*Air Brakes
• Uses air to apply brakes

• Breaks are disengaged when the air tanks are full

• Air fills the brake chamber, pushing the chamber

diaphragm

• Pushes the brake pads against the brake drum,

stopping the vehicle

• Used for heavier vehicles like in trucks ,aircraft etc.
