  2. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

    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.

  3. List of aircraft braking systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Aircraft_braking...

    Aircraft disc brakes in the landing gear, used to brake the wheels while touching the ground. These brakes are operated hydraulically, pneumatically or electrically. In most modern aircraft they are activated by the top section of the rudder pedals ("toe brakes"). In some older aircraft, the bottom section is used instead ("heel brakes").

  4. 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.

  5. Brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

    When the brake pedal of a modern vehicle with hydraulic brakes is pushed against the master cylinder, ultimately a piston pushes the brake pad against the brake disc which slows the wheel down. On the brake drum it is similar as the cylinder pushes the brake shoes against the drum which also slows the wheel down.

  6. Power brakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_brakes

    Power brakes consist of a system of hydraulics used to slow down or stop a motor vehicle. It uses a combination of mechanical components and vacuum assistance to multiply the pressure applied to the brake pedal by the driver into enough force to actuate the brakes and stop the vehicle.

  7. 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]
