  2. Combined braking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_braking_system

    A combined braking system (CBS), also called linked braking system (LBS), is a system for linking front and rear brakes on a motorcycle or scooter. [1] In this system, the rider's action of depressing one of the brake levers applies both front and rear brakes. The amount of each brake applied may be determined by a proportional control valve.

  3. Landing gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landing_gear

    The landing gear represents 2.5 to 5% of the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) and 1.5 to 1.75% of the aircraft cost, but 20% of the airframe direct maintenance cost. A suitably-designed wheel can support 30 t (66,000 lb), tolerate a ground speed of 300 km/h and roll a distance of 500,000 km (310,000 mi) ; it has a 20,000 hours time between overhaul and a 60,000 hours or 20 year life time.

  4. Caster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster

    A swivel caster. A caster (or castor) is an undriven wheel that is designed to be attached to the bottom of a larger object (the "vehicle") to enable that object to be moved. Casters are used in numerous applications, including shopping carts, office chairs, toy wagons, hospital beds, and material handling equipment. High capacity, heavy duty ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarder_(mechanical...

    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 ...

  6. Air caster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_caster

    An air caster is a pneumatic lifting device used to move heavy loads on flat, non- porous surfaces. Its operation is similar to a hovercraft, as it uses a thin layer of air as a way to float a very small distance off the ground. Compressed air enters an airbag shaped like a torus, [1] and when the bag is filled it creates an airtight seal with ...

  7. Railway air brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_air_brake

    A railway air brake is a railway brake power braking system with compressed air as the operating medium. [1] Modern trains rely upon a fail-safe air brake system that is based upon a design patented by George Westinghouse on April 13, 1869. [2] The Westinghouse Air Brake Company was subsequently organized to manufacture and sell Westinghouse's ...

    Powered by steam, it compresses air for operating the train air brake system. [3]: 2 The Westinghouse air brake system is used world-wide; [3]: 93 in Europe two systems that use the same principle are the Kunze-Knorr and Oerlikon systems. It can be a single-stage or, when larger capacity is needed, a two-stage cross-compound compressor.

  9. Brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

    Foundation components are the brake-assembly components at the wheels of a vehicle, named for forming the basis of the rest of the brake system. These mechanical parts contained around the wheels are controlled by the air brake system. The three types of foundation brake systems are “S” cam brakes, disc brakes and wedge brakes. [3]
