Parking/emergency brake?
It's just what it sounds likeAvid makes these; they go on the left side of the frame--where the derailleur is not. Avid also makes hydraulic ones.I haven't heard it called exactly CABLE ACTUATED but disc brakes come in either hydraulic or mechanical styles.
Hydraulic disc brakes have brake fluid and a compression line connecting the caliper to the lever with a fluid reservoir. This means you'll eventually have to have your line bled down the road and do more maintenence than on a mechanical brake.
Mechanical disc brakes use a cable to activate the braking.
The main difference is in the feel of the hydraulic brake. It has a smoother motion and the rider doesn't have to change the power of his grip for more braking power.
The mechanical caliper does require more power in the lever to hold the brake closed. But on the plus side, the maintenence is very small.

What an emergency brake looks like?
Depends on the vehicle; could be drum/shoe arrangement with cable actuation; could be rear disc brake pads with cable or could be rear disc brake with inner shoe and drum inside the rotor.

What is a Cable operated disc brakes?
A disc brake is type of brake there a rotating disc (AKA rotor) is pinched between two brake pads mounted in a caliper to make the wheel stop turning. There are two ways to make the brake pads pinch the rotor; hydraulic and mechanic/cable operated. With mechanical/cable operated brakes the cable basically turns a screw which pushes one brake pad towards the other, pinching the rotor and slowing the bike down.
Is the emergency brake a hydraulic system that is automatically actuated when the driver depresses the brake pedal?
No, the regular brake system is a hydraulic system that is actuated when the driver depresses the brake pedal. The emergency brake is a direct mechanical system that is manually actuated when the driver pulls the hand lever or depresses the emergency brake pedal, which is separate from the brake pedal.
What are the uses of the disc brakes?
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. This action slows the rotation of a shaft, such as a vehicle axle, either to reduce its rotational speed or to hold it stationary. The energy of motion is converted into waste heat which must be dispersed. Hydraulically actuated disc brakes are the most commonly used form of brake for motor vehicles, but the principles of a disc brake are applicable to almost any rotating shaft. The components include the disc, master cylinder, caliper (which contains cylinder and two brake pads) on both sides of the disc. More
What is cable actuated car?
A cable actuated car has a device that allows for the tension differentials which may occur in the actuating cable sections. It also has an uneven window glass top edge against its window frame.
What are disc brake components?

Is a disc brake the same as a rotor?
The rotor is the disc in the disc brake system.
Where is the parking brake on a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan with rear disc?
there are brake shoes in the discs too . just remove the discs and you will see them. they are applied by a cable.
How do disc brakes work?
Most modern cars have disc brakes on the front wheels, and some have disc brakes on all four wheels. This is the part of the brake system that does the actual work of stopping the car.The disc brake is a lot like the brakes on a bicycle. Bicycle brakes have a caliper, which squeezes the brake pads against the wheel. In a disc brake, the brake pads squeeze the rotor instead of the wheel, and the force is transmitted hydraulically instead of through a cable. Friction between the pads and the disc slows the disc down.Vented disc brakes have a set of vanes, between the two sides of the disc, that pumps air through the disc to provide cooling.
What is the working pressure of air in brake light switch in air-brake vehicles?
The brake light switch is not air actuated.
What is air-actuated brake?
Air-actuated brakes are brakes where the braking fluid used is air instead of brake oil. This is not favored as air (gas) has a weaker response than brake oil (liquid) and compromises the safety and reliability of the system.
