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]

4. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   There are different systems for the cataloguing of brake pads. The most frequently used system in Europe is the WVA numbering system. [16] The cataloguing system used in North America, and recognized around the world, is the standardized part numbering system for brakes and clutch facings issued by the Friction Materials Standards Institute (FMSI).

5. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   A schematic illustrating the major components of a hydraulic disc brake system. A hydraulic brake is an arrangement of braking mechanism which uses brake fluid, typically containing glycol ethers or diethylene glycol, to transfer pressure from the controlling mechanism to the braking mechanism.

6. Electronic brakeforce distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_brakeforce...

   The pressure of the rear wheels are approximated to the ideal brake force distribution in a partial braking operation. To do so, the conventional brake design is modified in the direction of rear axle overbraking, and the components of the ABS are used. EBD reduces the strain on the hydraulic brake force proportioning valve in the vehicle.

7. Electronic parking brake - Wikipedia

   Electric park brake in the center console in a Volkswagen Golf Variant. An electronic parking brake (EPB), also known as an electric parking brake or electric park brake, is an electronically controlled parking brake, whereby the driver activates the holding mechanism with a button and the brake pads are electrically applied to the rear wheels.
