Brakes

Bicycle

A bicycle, also called a pedal cycle, bike, push-bike or cycle, is a human-powered or motor-assisted, pedal-driven, single-track vehicle, with two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other.

See Brake shoe and Bicycle

Bicycle brake

A bicycle brake reduces the speed of a bicycle or prevents the wheels from moving. Brake shoe and bicycle brake are brakes and vehicle braking technologies.

See Brake shoe and Bicycle brake

Brake lining

Brake linings are the consumable surfaces in brake systems, such as drum brakes and disc brakes used in transport vehicles. Brake shoe and brake lining are vehicle braking technologies.

See Brake shoe and Brake lining

Brake pad

Brake pads are a component of disc brakes used in automotive and other applications. Brake shoe and brake pad are brakes and vehicle braking technologies.

See Brake shoe and Brake pad

Car

A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels.

See Brake shoe and Car

Disc brake

A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc or a rotor to create friction. Brake shoe and disc brake are brakes and vehicle braking technologies.

See Brake shoe and Disc brake

A drum brake is a brake that uses friction caused by a set of shoes or pads that press outward against a rotating bowl-shaped part called a brake drum. Brake shoe and drum brake are brakes and vehicle braking technologies.

See Brake shoe and Drum brake

Friction

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.

See Brake shoe and Friction

Gray iron

Gray iron, or grey cast iron, is a type of cast iron that has a graphitic microstructure.

See Brake shoe and Gray iron

List of auto parts

This is a list of auto parts, which are manufactured components of automobiles.

See Brake shoe and List of auto parts

List of synthetic polymers

Some familiar household synthetic polymers include: Nylons in textiles and fabrics, Teflon in non-stick pans, Bakelite for electrical switches, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in pipes, etc.

See Brake shoe and List of synthetic polymers

Parking brake

In road vehicles, the parking brake, also known as a handbrake or emergency brake (e-brake), is a mechanism used to keep the vehicle securely motionless when parked. Brake shoe and parking brake are vehicle braking technologies.

See Brake shoe and Parking brake

Railroad car

A railroad car, railcar (American and Canadian English), railway wagon, railway carriage, railway truck, railwagon, railcarriage or railtruck (British English and UIC), also called a train car, train wagon, train carriage or train truck, is a vehicle used for the carrying of cargo or passengers on a rail transport network (a railroad/railway).

See Brake shoe and Railroad car

Railway brake

A railway brake is a type of brake used on the cars of railway trains to enable deceleration, control acceleration (downhill) or to keep them immobile when parked. Brake shoe and railway brake are brakes.

See Brake shoe and Railway brake

Rivet

A rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener.

See Brake shoe and Rivet

Thermal shock

Thermal shock is a phenomenon characterized by a rapid change in temperature that results in a transient mechanical load on an object.

See Brake shoe and Thermal shock

Wear and tear

Wear and tear is damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal wear or aging.

See Brake shoe and Wear and tear

Wheelset (rail transport)

A wheelset is a pair of railroad vehicle wheels mounted rigidly on an axle allowing both wheels to rotate together.

See Brake shoe and Wheelset (rail transport)

WVA number

WVA numbers (Waren-Vertriebs-Artikel-Nummern) are a reference and assignment system for brake linings, clutch facings, brake shoes and other friction materials which will especially be used in road vehicles but also in mechanical engineering. Brake shoe and WVA number are vehicle braking technologies.

See Brake shoe and WVA number
