Classification of braking systems


What are the classifications of braking systems
How much do you know about the classification of car braking systems?
1) According to the different functions of the braking system
The braking system can be divided into service braking system, parking braking system, emergency braking system, and auxiliary braking system. The braking system used to slow down or even stop a moving vehicle is called the service braking system; The braking system used to keep a stopped vehicle stationary is called a parking brake system; In the event of a failure of the service braking system, the braking system that ensures the vehicle can still achieve deceleration or parking is called an emergency braking system; During driving, a braking system that can reduce or maintain vehicle speed stability, but cannot be called an auxiliary braking system for emergency braking of the vehicle. Among the above-mentioned braking systems, the service braking system and the parking braking system are essential for every vehicle.
2) Different energy sources for brake control
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 the manual braking system; A system that relies entirely on the potential energy in the form of air pressure or hydraulic pressure converted from the power of the engine 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.
3) Different transmission methods of braking energy
The braking system can be divided into mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electromagnetic, etc. A braking system that uses two or more transmission methods simultaneously is called a combination braking system.
