    The document summarizes the brake system used in small engines. It describes that small engine brake systems are typically simpler than those in cars but are designed to provide basic stopping power for their intended application. It then discusses the main types of braking systems as disc brakes which use calipers to squeeze pads against a rotor, and drum brakes which use shoes that press against a rotating cylinder. The document concludes by outlining the key components of a small engine brake system and their functions, such as the brake lever/pedal, master cylinder, lines, calipers/wheel cylinders, pads/shoes, rotors/drums, fluid, and reservoir.

    Automotive
    BRAKE SYSTEM
    The braking system uses friction
    on both the sides of the wheel
    which is collectively pressed on
    the wheel which converts the
    kinetic energy of a moving vehicle
    into heat.
    BRAKE SYSTEM
    The brake system of a small engine,
    such as those found in lawnmowers,
    go-karts, or small motorcycles, is
    typically simpler than the brake systems
    of larger vehicles like cars and trucks.
    These small engine brake systems are
    designed to provide basic stopping
    power and control for the specific
    needs of the application.
    Function of Brake System
    The purpose of the brake or
    brake system is to safely and
    reliably decelerate the vehicle,
    regardless of its speed

    TYPES OF BRAKING SYSTEM
    1 DISC BRAKES

    A disc brake is a type of brake that uses


    the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads
    against a disc or a "rotor" to
    create friction. This action slows the
    rotation of a shaft, such as a vehicle axle,
    either to reduce its rotational speed or to
    hold it stationary. The energy of motion is
    converted into waste heat which must be
    dispersed.

    TYPES OF BRAKING SYSTEM
    2 DRUM BRAKES

    A drum brake is a brake that uses friction


    caused by a set of shoes or pads that
    press outward against a rotating
    cylinder-shaped part called a brake drum.
    The term drum brake usually means
    a brake in which shoes press on the inner
    surface of the drum. When shoes press
    on the outside of the drum, it is usually
    called a clasp brake.

    SCENE 3
    Principle of Brake System
    Modern motorcycle brakes work by
    transferring movement and force at the
    lever through an incompressible liquid to
    the caliper pistons, which then press the
    brake pads against the disc. For that force
    to be transferred efficiently, the brake lines
    must not expand, there must be no leaks
    and the fluid must not compress.
    The type of brake system employed depends on
    the specific needs of the equipment and the level
    of control, safety, and stopping power required.
    Regardless of the type, maintaining and regularly
    inspecting the brake system is crucial for safe and
    efficient operation.
    The Main Components And Their
    Functions In A Small Engine Brake
    System
    Brake Lever or Pedal:
    Function: The rider or driver applies
    force to the brake lever (for motorcycles
    and scooters) or pedal (for some small
    vehicles) to activate the brakes
    .
    Brake Master Cylinder:
    Function: Converts the
    mechanical force applied to
    the brake lever or pedal into
    hydraulic pressure. It houses
    a piston and a reservoir of
    brake fluid
    .
    Brake Lines:
    Function: Transmit the
    hydraulic pressure
    generated by the master
    cylinder to the brake
    calipers or wheel
    cylinders.
    Brake Calipers (or Wheel
    Cylinders):
    Function: These components are
    responsible for applying pressure to the
    brake pads (for disc brakes) or brake
    shoes (for drum brakes) to create
    friction against the brake rotors (for disc
    brakes) or brake drums (for drum
    brakes). This friction slows down or
    stops the rotation of the wheels.
    Brake Pads or Brake Shoes:
    Function: The brake pads (for
    disc brakes) or brake shoes (for
    drum brakes) are the friction
    materials that make contact with
    the rotating parts of the wheels.
    They convert the kinetic energy of
    the vehicle into heat energy through friction, thus slowing down or stopping the vehicle.
    Brake Rotors (for Disc Brakes) or
    Brake Drums (for Drum Brakes):
    Function: These are the rotating
    components of the wheel that the
    brake pads (disc brakes) or brake
    shoes (drum brakes) make contact
    with. They provide the surface
    against which friction is applied to
    slow down or stop the vehicle.
    Brake Fluid:
    Function: Brake fluid is a
    specialized hydraulic fluid that
    transmits pressure from the
    master cylinder to the brake
    calipers or wheel cylinders. It
    must have a high boiling point to
    withstand the heat generated
    during braking.
    Brake Lines and Hoses:
    Function: These components
    convey brake fluid from the
    master cylinder to the brake
    calipers or wheel cylinders.
    They are typically made of
    reinforced rubber or steel for
    durability.
    Brake Lines:
    Function: Transmit the
    hydraulic pressure
    generated by the master
    cylinder to the brake
    calipers or wheel
    cylinders.
    Brake Booster (optional):
    Function: In some small
    engine vehicles, a brake
    booster assists in applying
    force to the master cylinder,
    making it easier for the driver
    to engage the brakes with
    less effort.
    Brake Fluid Reservoir:
    Function: Stores brake fluid and
    ensures that the brake system
    remains adequately supplied with
    fluid as it is used. It also allows for
    the expansion and contraction of
    brake fluid as temperatures change.
