  2. Disc brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

    On automobiles, disc brakes are often located within the wheel A drilled motorcycle brake disc. The development of disc-type brakes began in England in the 1890s. In 1902, the Lanchester Motor Company designed brakes that looked and operated similarly to a modern disc-brake system even though the disc was thin and a cable activated the brake pad. [4]

  3. Tire maintenance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_maintenance

    Tire maintenance for motor vehicles is based on several factors. The chief reason for tire replacement is friction from moving contact with road surfaces, causing the tread on the outer perimeter of tires to eventually wear away. When the tread depth becomes too shallow, like for example below 3.2 mm (4/32 in), the tire is worn out and should ...

  4. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake

    Larger rotors provide greater braking torque for a given pad pressure, by virtue of a longer moment arm for the caliper to act on. Smaller rotors provide less braking torque but also less weight and better protection from knocks. Larger rotors dissipate heat more quickly and have a larger amount of mass to absorb heat, reducing brake fade or ...

  5. Brake pad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

    The ability to resist wear due to friction, but not to the extent that rotor wear occurs more quickly than brake material is sacrificed. [5] [6] The ability of the material to provide smooth and even contact with the rotor or drum, instead of a material that breaks off in chunks or causes pits, dents, or other damage to the surface in contact ...

  6. Road surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_surface

    Due to the lower elevation from the driveway, a large portion of the buses weight leans on one wheel causing damage to the road. Despite the repairs, you can see the patch is already damaged. This is all happens yearly.

  7. Commutator (electric) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator_(electric)

    Parts: (A) commutator, (B) brush, (C) rotor windings, (D) stator (field) windings, (E) brush guides, (F) electrical connections. A commutator is a rotary electrical switch in certain types of electric motors and electrical generators that periodically reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit.
