9 Brakes

Question 1

Where are disc breaks found

Answer 1

Are not just found in airbrakes

Question 2

Service brakes

Answer 2

Take some kind of mechanical force and apply it to the wheels to stop the rotation

Question 3

Park brakes

Answer 3

Uses an implied mechanical force to keep a vehicle in place when parked

Question 4

Hydraulic brakes

Answer 4

Transverses power, via brake fluid
Common with light vehicles , tractors, ATVs, and older apparatuses

Question 5

Airbrakes

Answer 5

Transfer power to the brakes be a compressed air
Common with heavy trucks, buses industrial machines, and tractors

Question 6

Hydraulic brakes consist of

Answer 6

Brake pedal
Master cylinder
Brake lines
Calliper or piston
Brake shoes and pads

Question 7

Master cylinder

Answer 7

Is the oil reserver

Question 8

How do you hydraulic brakes work?

Answer 8

When the driver pushes the brake pedal the master cylinder converts, mechanical pressure into hydraulic pressure and send it through each brake line at each wheel. A slave cylinder converts the hydraulic pressure back to mechanical pressure. A parachute is pushed against the drummer of the desk to add friction to slow the wheel.

Question 9

Do hydraulic brakes have delay

Answer 9

Virtually no delayed reaction because it is virtually incompressed

Question 10

Park brake

Answer 10

Also known as emergency break, is a manual spring break on hydraulic brakes

Question 11

Answer 11

Air, compressor and governor
Air compressor cousin at 100 psi
Air compressor cuts out at 125 psi

Question 12

The storage tanks

Answer 12

The air compressor is connected to a Reservoir that stores pressurized air, the secondary and primary tanks

Question 13

Brake lag

Answer 13

Is the reaction time for when the pedal is pushed tether there is any breaking action roughly 3/10th or 1/2 seconds

Question 14

How to air brakes work

Answer 14

When the driver pushes the brake pedal, pressured air moves through the hoses to push down a piston that move the cam that pushes a breaks you into a rotating drum that’s attached to the wheel the brake shoe rubs against the drum crates fiction and slows the wheel

Question 15

2 ways to know the air breaks is charged

Answer 15

Gauge reads significant air pressure
Yellow button stays in

Question 16

60 psi

Answer 16

Spring brake, warning, light and buzzer comes on

Question 17

90 psi

Answer 17

Needed to keep yellow button pushed in to

Question 18

45 -25 psi

Answer 18

Spring break will become fully activated

Question 19

Purpose of antilock brakes

Answer 19

To prevent the tires from locking up under any condition

Question 20

80 psi

Answer 20

Apparatuses with airbrakes must be equipped with an air pressure protection valve to prevent airhorns from being operated when the pressure air register for the drops below 80 psi

Question 21

How to know your brakes are faulty

Answer 21

The apparatus poles to one side while breaking
The brake pedal feels mushy hydraulic
There’s a metal grinding noise when braking
Air rushes from the treadle valve ( brake values )
