There are three basic types of brake systems: Parking, working and spare. The Parking brake system is designed to hold the machine when stationary in one place. Working – to stop the car and decrease speed. Emergency brake system of the car is a backup needed in case when failing working. Most often today, the last is a mandatory part of the working brake system.

The Main components of each brake system – the brake actuator and the brake mechanism. The latter generates a braking torque that ensures the car slowing down. In mechanical engineering apply friction mechanisms based on the use of friction. Inside the wheel is the brake mechanism braking system. The mechanisms of the Parking system can be in transfer case or transmission.

The brakes depending on the device may be disc or drum. The latter consists of a hollow drum in which there are two pads, divorcing in hand and pressed against the drum with one or more cylinders.

The Deceleration is provided by friction of the inner surface of the drum and friction pads. After braking under the influence of springs the pads back to its former place. The advantages of the reel mechanisms are the following: low manufacturing cost and simplicity. They also have a large area of frictional contact parts with the surface of the drum. This increases the braking force, and also gives the opportunity to use this design for freight trucks.

This brake system has some disadvantages such as risk of overheating of the drum and its subsequent deformation. Accordingly, this leads to a strong decrease of the contact surface of the drum and the brake pads and decreasing braking effectiveness. Such mechanisms ultimately poorly suited for riding with heavy loads, and frequent braking.

Disc brake system of the vehicle includes rotating the brake disc and caliper which is attached to the bracket and includes stationary brake pads. In the grooves of the caliper are working cylinders, clamping the pads to the sides of the disk. Compared to the drum brake system of car, disc brake system VAZ is less susceptible to overheating because its working parts are more open and, consequently, better are blown.

In Addition, there are ventilated mechanisms. They consist of two disks connected by blades. The air thus passes through them and cools more efficiently. In addition to removing heat, they perform the cleaning function against moisture, friction, dust and dirt. It should be noted that the contact area in the disk system is much smaller compared with the drum. For this reason, to ensure that slowing down requires more effort. In view of this, have become ubiquitous to appear a variety of brake boosters. The disadvantages of this mechanism include the more high cost, inability to endure the harsh conditions of exploitation, as well as smaller resource blocks.

Today, the braking system includes a variety of security items – electronic differential lock, traction control system, separation system braking, ABS, brake assistant. This gives the possibility of braking system of a car to perform additional functions. So, nitro is helping to drive the simulated differential locks, drifts and other troubles eliminates the traction control system due to the slowdown in the trajectory of a car is held by stability.
