These are the front brake discs on a BMW R1150GS. The toothed ABS ring indicates that this bike was manufactured before November 2002. Another toothed-wheel ABS sensor. This is on a BMW K75 motorcycle. On a motorcycle, an anti-lock brake system prevents the wheels of a motorcycle from locking during braking situations.
Electronic stability control (also known as roll over protection) is a specific technology that helps keep the vehicle balanced. During harsh weather or tough road conditions that would cause vehicle steering to be extreme, this technology allows the drivers to regain control and prevent possible crashes, roll overs, and fishtails.
The simplest freewheel device consists of two saw-toothed, spring-loaded discs pressing against each other axially with the toothed sides together, like a ratchet but with the usual stationary part also rotating. Rotating in one direction, the saw teeth of the drive disc lock with the teeth of the driven disc, making it rotate at the same speed.
A toothed belt, timing belt, cogged belt, cog belt, or synchronous belt is a flexible belt with teeth moulded onto its inner surface. Toothed belts are usually designed to run over matching toothed pulleys or sprockets. Toothed belts are used in a wide array of mechanical devices where high power transmission is desired.
CBC can lower brake pressure, yaw rate, and torque at once to limit lateral movement (movement from the sides). [2] [25] Limiting lateral movement helps improve vehicle stability while turning, allowing CBC to brake smoothly. [25] This helps the driver immediately stop the vehicle when faced with an emergency situation ahead.
The norovirus, aka the "stomach flu," is continuing to circulate, causing more cases in the U.S. Here's what to know about symptoms, transmission and treatment.
In the 2016 Berlin truck attack, the vehicle used was brought to a stop by its automatic braking system. [39] Collision avoidance features are rapidly making their way into the new vehicle fleet. In a study of police-reported crashes, automatic emergency braking was found to reduce the incidence of rear-end crashes by 39 percent. [40]
