2. Railway air brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_air_brake

   Duplex brake gauge on a British electric multiple unit. Left needle shows air supplied by the main reservoir pipe, right needle shows brake cylinder pressure. Another solution to loss of brake pressure is the two-pipe system, fitted on most locomotive-hauled passenger stock and many freight wagons.

4. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

   Example of the widely used Bourdon pressure gauge Checking tire pressure with a spring and piston tire-pressure gauge. Pressure measurement is the measurement of an applied force by a fluid (liquid or gas) on a surface. Pressure is typically measured in units of force per unit of surface area.

5. Vacuum brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_brake

   a brake cylinder on each vehicle containing a piston, connected by rigging to the brake shoes on the vehicle; and; a vacuum (pressure) gauge on the locomotive to indicate to the driver the degree of vacuum in the train pipe. The brake cylinder is contained in a larger housing—this gives a reserve of vacuum as the piston operates.

6. Brake fluid pressure sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid_pressure_sensor

   The sensor has an input port to measure the hydraulic braking pressure and an electrical connector output for a wire connection for feeding the warning light. Some brake failures do not trip the sensor into a fault mode. A brake fluid pressure sensor is used in anti-lock braking system (ABS). ABS fault lights come on with unexpected wheel lock ...

7. Air brake (road vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_brake_(road_vehicle)

   Truck air-actuated disc brake. An air brake or, more formally, a compressed-air-brake system, is a type of friction brake for vehicles in which compressed air pressing on a piston is used to both release the parking/emergency brakes in order to move the vehicle, and also to apply pressure to the brake pads or brake shoes to slow and stop the vehicle.
