I. Mechanical Brakes:
A simple band brake is shown in figure .in this one end of the band is
attached at the fulcrum of the lever while the other end is at some
distance from the fulcrum.
Band Brakes:
One end of the shoe is pivoted at fulcrum while the other end is
subjected to the actuating force . Internal expanding shoe brake is used
in motor cars and light trucks
Hydraulic Brakes:
Working Principle:
The compressor takes air from the atmosphere through the filter
and the compressed air is sent to the reservoir through the non-return
valve, which gets lifted at a predetermined reservoir pressure and
relives the compressor or load.
From the reservoir the air goes to various accessories and also to
the brake chambers also called the diaphragm units at each wheel,
through the brake valve. The control of the brake valve is with the
driver who can control the intensity of braking according to the
requirements.
When the brakes are applied , the air pressure in the reservoir
decreases. When the pressure drops to approximately 700kpa; the
governor again cuts in the compressor to raise system pressure.
Vacuum Brakes:
