2. Brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

   SLF: Brake Fluid Reservoir RF: Splitter braking FS: Parking Brake. 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 a working fluid and do not explicitly wear. Typically the term "friction brake" is used to ...

3. Brake fade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

   Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disc brakes. Loss of stopping power, or fade, can be caused by friction fade, mechanical fade, or fluid fade.

4. 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]

   Brembo's <BRBI.MI> distinctive colored brakes stop many of the world's fastest cars but when it comes to the electric vehicles of the future it faces a problem - traditional brakes are noisy.

6. Braking distance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_distance

   The type of brake system in use only affects trucks and large mass vehicles, which cannot supply enough force to match the static frictional force. [1] [Note 2] The braking distance is one of two principal components of the total stopping distance. The other component is the reaction distance, which is the product of the speed and the ...

7. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   Worn brake pads, contaminated brake fluid, faulty brake caliper, faulty master cylinder, loss of vacuum, loss of brake fluid Car pulls to one side when braking Faulty brake caliper, restriction in hydraulic system, brake pad lining(s) contaminated with oil or brake fluid, brake pads not replaced in pairs, brake pad not fitted correctly,
