The braking system is one of the most important and necessary in a car. Because of their failure or lack of braking, the car is dangerous not only for the driver, but also for their passengers. So that the presence of intact brake system in your car can save your life and health. The main purpose of braking the car is slowing down the vehicle or to its full stop. The braking system consists of several components. Among these components there are several – is the vehicle brake pads, drums, discs, cylinders, and all the brake gear. On all cars without exception applied friction brakes, Prince of action of these brakes are based on the friction force on a fixed part movable (eg, pads rub against the drum or disc brake). Purpose of the brake systems in motor vehicles can be divided into two parts: a working (for reduce speed or to stop the vehicle) and parking (to keep the car on an uneven surface). In accordance with the requirements of countries outside the eu – the two systems (service and parking) should be in every car.

The term ‘brake’ is derived from the Greek word ‘tormos’, which means the hole for the nail. Today it is impossible to provide security of the car without an effective and reliable braking control. And the contemporary engineers improve or complement the braking system on a new car. Typically, many add-ons are additional options, and they must be purchased separately (extra cost), but to save on their security can come to more expensive than the cost of these needed additions. I’m a little talk about some additional system make the car more modern bezlopastnym. The first of what I tell you this system is abs (Antilock Brake System) task of this system is to prevent wheel lock when you are very much hit the brakes. The abs system consists of three elements – is speed sensors, which are on each wheel, brake pressure modulator and a control unit abs. Also, based on abs developed another system tcs – (Traction Control System) as this system exists under other names (ASR, asc, ETS). tcs is designed to prevent wheel spin in time to move. Distinguishes it from the abs only a modified control unit. Another needed a system that is desirable to have on your car. This system esp (Electronic Stability Program) Electronic Stability wheels. Operates the system so that when turning (rotation angle and speed does not matter) is skidding rear axle of your vehicle, esp will provide a slowdown outside front wheel. Due to this there stabilizing the torque between the wheels, the car returns to a safe trajectory.
