The Main Classification Of Brakes

① Friction brake. Braking relies on the frictional force between the braking component and the moving component.
② Non friction brakes. The structural forms of brakes mainly include magnetic particle brakes (which use the shear force generated by magnetic particle magnetization to brake), magnetic eddy current brakes (which adjust the braking torque by adjusting the excitation current), and water eddy current brakes.
Structural form of brake components
It can also be divided into external block brakes, internal tension shoe brakes, belt brakes, disc brakes, etc;
Working status of brake components
It can also be divided into normally closed brakes (usually in a tight state, requiring external force to release the brake) and normally open brakes (usually in a loose state, requiring external force to apply before braking);
Manipulation method
Brakes can also be operated by manual, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromagnetic forces.
The function of the braking system
The braking system can be divided into service braking system, parking braking system, emergency braking system, and auxiliary braking system. Among the above braking systems, the service braking system and the parking braking system are mandatory for every car.
Brake control energy
The braking system can be divided into manual braking system, power braking system, and servo braking system. The braking system that uses the driver's body as the sole braking energy source is called a manual braking system; A system that relies entirely on the potential energy in the form of air pressure or hydraulic pressure converted from engine power for braking is called a power braking system; A braking system that combines human and engine power for braking is called a servo braking system or a power assisted braking system.
Braking energy transmission method
The braking system can be divided into various types, such as mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electromagnetic, etc. A braking system that uses two or more energy transmission methods simultaneously is called a combination braking system.
