  2. Parking brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_brake

    In manual transmission vehicles, the parking brake is engaged to help keep the vehicle stationary while parked, especially if parked on an incline. [2] [3]While automatic transmission vehicles have a "Park" gear that immobilizes the transmission, it is still recommended to use the parking brake, as the parking pawl in the gearbox could fail due to stress or another vehicle striking the car ...

  3. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

    Hydraulic systems are smaller and less expensive. Hydraulic fluid must be non-compressible. Unlike air brakes, where a valve is opened and air flows into the lines and brake chambers until the pressure rises sufficiently, hydraulic systems rely on a single stroke of a piston to force fluid through the system. If any vapor is introduced into the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_controls

    In rallying there is often a hydraulic handbrake for the rear wheels, operated by a long, vertical lever extending to near the steering wheel. This is designed to facilitate handbrake turns rather than for parking, so lacks a ratcheting mechanism. [4]

  5. Sensotronic Brake Control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensotronic_Brake_Control

    Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) is an electro-hydraulic brake system developed by Daimler and Bosch. In this system, the wheel brake cylinders of a vehicle are operated through a servomechanism, offering precise and responsive braking. The SBC system was first introduced on the R230 SL-class, which was released in Europe in October 2001. [1]

  6. Brake fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid

    Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic brake and hydraulic clutch applications in automobiles, motorcycles, light trucks, and some bicycles. It is used to transfer force into pressure, and to amplify braking force.

  7. Power brakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_brakes

    A power braking system consists of several distinct components, including the vacuum booster, master cylinder, brake fluid reservoir and lines, and calipers (or drums). Power brakes have been around in some form since the 1920s, and since the late 20th century all cars sold in North America have been equipped with power brakes.
