Types of Brakes

Brakes are important safety features for vehicles because they stop a car from moving and losing control. There are different brake types within a vehicle.

  • Disc Brakes: These consist of a disc brake rotor attached to the wheel and a caliper to hold the disc brake pads. The friction between the rotor and pads causes a car to stop or slow down.
  • Drum Brakes: Drum brakes comprise a wheel cylinder, brake return springs, brake shoes and a wheel-attached brake drum. The friction between the drum and shoes causes your car to stop or slow down.
  • Emergency Brakes: The emergency braking system isn’t powered by any hydraulic system. Instead, they use cables to apply the brakes mechanically. Emergency brakes include the stick lever between the passenger and driver seat, a pedal on the floor or a push button on the steering column. They are usually applied to keep vehicles stationary when parked.
  • Anti-Lock Brakes: Anti-lock brakes are present in newer models. These prevent the wheels from locking up, so the tyres don’t skid. This system monitors the wheel speed and automatically applies brake pressure on wheels when skidding is noticed.

1. The importance of good brakes can never be underestimated. Your brakes are not only responsible for stopping the car, but they also help you decelerate when going downhill, help in avoiding collisions and keep your car stationery when not being used. That’s why it’s so important your brakes are always maintained in good working order.

2. Just replacing your brake pads every now and then isn’t  good enough. There are many parts to a brake system that need checking and, in some cases, replacing. Your local Continental Tyres Dandenong  can take a look at your brakes and advise you on what needs to be done.
