2. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   Passenger vehicles typically have either a front/rear split brake system or a diagonal split brake system (the master cylinder in a motorcycle or scooter may only pressurize a single unit, which will be the front brake). A front/rear split system uses one master cylinder section to pressurize the front caliper pistons and the other section to ...

3. Combined braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_braking_system

   In this system, the rear brake pedal operates both front and rear brake, and the front brake lever operates the front calipers, which in turn activates a secondary master cylinder to engage the rear brake. ABS modulators are installed on both the front and rear wheel. [11] Honda's first street motorcycle with a combined braking system (then ...

4. Drum brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_brake

   Drum brakes are also occasionally fitted as the parking (and emergency) brake even when the rear wheels use disc brakes as the main brakes. Many rear disc braking systems use a parking brake in which the piston in the caliper is actuated by a cam or screw. This compresses the pads against the rotor. However, this type of system becomes much ...

5. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

   This system operates the same as the rear end of a three-channel system. The rear wheels are monitored together and they both have to start to lock up before the ABS kicks in. In this system it is also possible that one of the rear wheels will lock, reducing brake effectiveness. This system is also easy to identify, as there are no individual ...

6. Parking brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_brake

   The parking brake in most vehicles is still completely mechanical. Traditionally engaged by pulling a lever, the cables manually engage part of the car's braking system, usually the rear disk or drum brakes. [10] The mechanical nature allows the driver to apply the brake even if the main hydraulic brake system fails. [3]

Frictional brakes are most common and can be divided broadly into "shoe" or "pad" brakes, using an explicit wear surface, and hydrodynamic brakes, such as parachutes, which use friction in ...
