Conventional car brakes are built with one thing in mind, the purpose of stopping the car. Since this purpose is essential, a great deal of time and resources were invested in the evolution of such ...

The integrity and performance of brake systems are fundamentally influenced by friction-induced vibration, a phenomenon that can compromise safety and noise performance. Recent investigations have ...

Few things on a race car are as regularly underappreciated as the brake system. Yes, stock car racing is about going fast, but that's all the way around the track, not just the straightaway. The best ...

Tractor-trailers don’t stop on a dime. You can blame the realities of physics for that. But a standard 6×4 tractor traveling at highway speeds still needs to stop within 250 feet, which is ...

Its no secret to short-track racers that the bestand often onlyplace to pass on a small track is on turn exit. Its the place where the cars overall package comes into play, and, if you are missing a ...

If there’s one thing on commercial vehicles that operations and maintenance professionals need to understand, it’s braking systems. Not getting a truck to start rolling on time will cause delayed ...

An object like a tractor-trailer remains in motion unless an outside force like the braking system acts upon it. Even Isaac Newton could have predicted that. And when brake components fail, there’s ...

No-slip clutch/brakes keep loads and drives synced up. Machines that move loads to specified positions and hold them within a few thousandths of an inch need highly controllable, precision brakes.

OK, its friction brakes. This EV's industry-first by-wire binders use heavy regen to all but eliminate conventional braking in daily use. "Do you want to touch the brake disc?" As far as questions go ...

Electric cars are known for regenerative braking, so it is easy to assume the friction brakes enjoy a quiet life. The real picture is more complicated. Many EVs place sudden, heavy loads on their pads ...

CentroMotion, which is backed by One Rock Capital Partners, has acquired Carlisle Brake & Friction from Carlisle Companies Incorporated. No financial terms were disclosed. CBF is a maker of friction ...

Electrifying cars doesn't just mean exchanging out engines for batteries and electric motors. Other car components are getting big upgrades thanks to electrons. Brembo is attempting to take the "panic ...
