Is the foot brake on the front or rear wheels? What's the difference between a hand brake and a foot brake
There are two brake systems on the car, that is, the foot brake and hand brake that we often say. Recently, there are friends who ask questions, saying that they want to know the foot brake of the car is the front or rear wheel. In fact, in the conventional family four-wheeler, the foot brake is directly acting on the four wheels.
Because if you brake the front wheels alone, it may cause the vehicle to lose control of direction, and there is no way to ensure the directional braking when braking. And if the rear wheel braking alone, it may cause the rear wheel to lose adhesion, there is a great probability of the car tail, sideslip and other phenomena.
The difference between the foot brake and the hand brake
1, first of all, the difference between foot brake and hand brake lies in the different braking environment. Foot brake called driving brake, is generally used in the process of driving, and hand brake called parking brake, is needed when parking brake.
2, the second is the hand brake and foot brake control brake caliper braking is through different ways to complete, foot brake is generally acting on the four wheels, and the hand brake is mainly acting on the rear wheel.
3, the principle of braking is different. Foot brake is through the mechanical force of the brake pedal to the hydraulic pressure, the hydraulic pressure of the brake oil is transferred from the pipeline to the brake disc, the brake force is very large, and the control is easy and labor-saving. And the hand brake is the use of steel wire connected to the rear brake shoe way to brake.
