2. Tank steering systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_steering_systems

   Leopard 2. Tank steering systems allow a tank, or other continuous track vehicle, to turn. Because the tracks cannot be angled relative to the hull (in any operational design), steering must be accomplished by speeding one track up, slowing the other down (or reversing it), or a combination of both. Half-track vehicles avoid this by combining ...

   Mechanism for regenerative brake on the roof of a Škoda Astra tram The S7/8 Stock on the London Underground can return around 20% of its energy usage to the power supply. [ 1 ] Regenerative braking is an energy recovery mechanism that slows down a moving vehicle or object by converting its kinetic energy or potential energy into a form that ...

4. Press brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_brake

   A press brake is a type of brake, a machine used for bending sheet metal and metal plate. [1] It forms predetermined bends by clamping the workpiece between a matching top tool and bottom die. [2] Typically, two C-frames form the sides of the press brake, connected to a table at the bottom and on a movable beam at the top. The bottom tool is ...

5. Cornering brake control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornering_Brake_Control

   Cornering Brake Control (CBC) is an automotive safety measure that improves handling performance by distributing the force applied on the wheels of a vehicle while turning corners. Introduced by BMW in 1992, the technology is now featured in modern electric and gasoline vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, and trucks.

   Retarder (mechanical engineering) Torque converter, opened, interior similar to a retarder. A retarder is a device used to augment or replace some of the functions of primary friction -based braking systems, usually on heavy vehicles. Retarders serve to slow vehicles, or maintain a steady speed while traveling down a hill, and help prevent the ...

7. 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 ...
