  2. Brake fade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

    Brake fade can be a factor in any vehicle that utilizes a friction braking system including automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, airplanes, and bicycles. 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 ...

    Special solvent sprays are offered by all manufacturers and aftermarket jobbers to solve this very common problem. Other problems may be implicated in the case of older vehicles equipped with carburetors.

    However, tests of the Camry by Car and Driver in 2009, attempting to use the brakes to stop acceleration of a purposely stuck throttle at 70, 100 and 120 miles per hour (110, 160 and 190 km/h), found that the test driver was able to reduce speed to 10 mph (16 km/h) in all instances, and in the 70 and 100 mph (110 and 160 km/h) tests, stop the ...

  5. Disc brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

    One problem with motorcycle disc brakes is that when a bike gets into a violent tank-slapper (high-speed oscillation of the front wheel) the brake pads in the calipers are forced away from the discs, so when the rider applies the brake lever, the caliper pistons push the pads towards the discs without actually making contact. The rider then ...

  6. Stick–slip phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stick–slip_phenomenon

    Stick–slip motion is ubiquitous in systems with sliding components, such as disk brakes, bearings, electric motors, wheels on roads or railways, and in mechanical joints. [9] Stick–slip also has been observed in articular cartilage in mild loading and sliding conditions, which could result in abrasive wear of the cartilage. [ 10 ]

  7. Ausco Lambert disc brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ausco_Lambert_disc_brake

    The Ausco-Lambert brake is self-energizing. It holds one ring rigidly and lets the other rotate freely, without a stop. The rotation direction is arranged so the direction of free rotation is the same as the hollow brake "disc". Thus, the disc tends to pull the ring in the direction that further applies the brake.
