I'm going to say the secondary (facing rearward) lining on dual-servo drum brake does more work than the primary (facing forward) lining because the rear lining is almost always longer than the front lining to compensate for more wear.

Does friction effect braking force?

Yes, friction is essential for braking as it helps to slow down a moving vehicle by creating a resistance force between the brake pads and the wheels. The greater the friction between the brake components, the more effective the braking force will be.


When should you use the front brake on a motorcycle for optimal braking performance and control?

You should use the front brake on a motorcycle for optimal braking performance and control in most situations, as it provides the majority of the stopping power. However, it is important to also use the rear brake in conjunction with the front brake to maintain stability and prevent skidding.


On which cylinder does the foot brake first apply its froce?

The foot brake typically first applies its force on the rear brake cylinder. In most hydraulic brake systems, the force from the brake pedal is transmitted to the rear brake cylinders before affecting the front ones, allowing for a more balanced braking effect. This prioritization helps to prevent skidding and maintains vehicle stability during braking.


Why does the brake light on the car's dash come on when the parking brake has been released?

the parking brake is either sticking or the sensor is bad This could also be a warning that there is something wrong with the braking system. The light is not only for the parking brake in most vehicles.

How many independent braking systems are there in your vehicle?

Most vehicles are equipped with two independent braking systems: the primary braking system, which is typically hydraulic and operates the main brakes, and the secondary system, often referred to as the emergency brake or parking brake, which is usually mechanical. This redundancy ensures that if one system fails, the other can still provide braking capability, enhancing overall safety. Some vehicles may also have additional systems, such as anti-lock braking systems (ABS) or electronic stability control (ESC), but these are not considered independent braking systems.


Why are the brake servos fitted to most modern car?

Brake servos, or brake boosters, are fitted to most modern cars to enhance braking efficiency and reduce the driver's effort required to engage the brakes. By using vacuum or hydraulic pressure, these devices amplify the force applied to the brake pedal, allowing for quicker and more responsive stops. This is especially important in emergency situations, where rapid deceleration is crucial for safety. Additionally, brake servos contribute to overall driving comfort by making braking feel smoother and less strenuous.


What is EBS on a car?

The Electronic Brake assist System (EBS) is a very efficient aid in emergency braking situations when the driver wants the vehicle to stop as quickly as possible. In these situations, most drivers apply the brake fast, but not with the maximum pressure, and this insufficient braking power leads to dangerously long braking distances. The system is triggered when the brake assist recognizes the fast and hard braking by the driver classified as typical 'emergency braking' and activates the maximum braking power immediately. Therefore even moderate pedal force leads to maximum deceleration. This can help avoid an accident or reduce its seriousness, due to decreased vehicle speed at the moment of collision.


What does ABS light mean?

ABS = Anti-Lock Brake SystemIf you have this light come on while not braking, it most likely means there is a problem with the electronic controls in your brakes. If it comes on while you are braking, it means the Anti-Lock has kicked in. It should only do that however, if you are braking really hard.


Which is the most effective stopping brake on a motorbike?

The most effective stopping brake on a motorbike is typically the front brake, which provides the majority of stopping power. This is due to the weight transfer to the front wheel during braking, enhancing its grip and effectiveness. Modern motorcycles often feature anti-lock braking systems (ABS), which prevent wheel lock-up and improve stability during hard braking, making them even more effective. Therefore, using both the front and rear brakes in conjunction is essential for optimal stopping performance.


Why does the car shake when braking at high speeds?

A car shaking while applying brakes is most likely caused by worn a brake pad. Check the brake system at all four wheels to find the problem.
