2. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   Brake fade caused by overheating brake fluid (often called Pedal Fade) can also be reduced through the use of thermal barriers that are placed between the brake pad and the brake caliper piston, these reduce the transfer of heat from the pad to the caliper and in turn hydraulic brake fluid. Some high-performance racing calipers already include ...

3. Electric friction brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_friction_brake

   Brakes that actuates when some trailer lights are turned on. Watch out for this because the brakes may only be slightly dragging as soon as the position lights are on and that can result in unnecessary wear and overheated brakes. Undersized wiring causes excessive voltage loss to the last magnet in the electrical loop.

4. Relay valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay_valve

   Without relay valves, it would take too long for sufficient air to travel from the brake pedal valve to the rear of the truck or trailer in order to apply the rear service brakes concurrently with the front service brakes, resulting in a condition known as brake lag. To correct this condition on a long-wheel-base vehicle, a relay valve is ...

5. Motorcycle braking systems - Wikipedia

   The front suspension on the Yamaha GTS1000 released in 1993 was a single sided swingarm that among other characteristics aimed to reduce diving under braking. The design only allowed for a single front disc brake so a comparatively large 330 mm disc was mated to a six-piston caliper, a world first on a production bike. [9]: 28

6. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

   Disk electromagnetic brakes are used on vehicles such as trains, and power tools such as circular saws, to stop the blade quickly when the power is turned off.A disk eddy current brake consists of a conductive non-ferromagnetic metal disc attached to the axle of the vehicle's wheel, with an electromagnet located with its poles on each side of the disk, so the magnetic field passes through the ...

7. Brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

   Compared to modern disc brakes, drum brakes wear out faster due to their tendency to overheat. The disc brake is a device for slowing or stopping the rotation of a road wheel. A brake disc (or rotor in U.S. English), usually made of cast iron or ceramic, is connected to the wheel or the axle.
