An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land
vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses.[1] ABS operates by preventing the wheels from
locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface.
ABS is an automated system that uses the principles of threshold braking and cadence braking,
techniques which were once practiced by skillful drivers before ABSes were widespread. ABS operates at
a much faster rate and more effectively than most drivers could manage. Although ABS generally offers
improved vehicle control and decreases stopping distances on dry and some slippery surfaces, on loose
gravel or snow-covered surfaces ABS may significantly increase braking distance, while still improving
steering control.[2][3][4] Since ABS was introduced in production vehicles, such systems have become
increasingly sophisticated and effective. Modern versions may not only prevent wheel lock under
braking, but may also alter the front-to-rear brake bias. This latter function, depending on its specific
capabilities and implementation, is known variously as electronic brakeforce distribution, traction control
system, emergency brake assist, or electronic stability control (ESC).
A brake shoe is the part of a braking system which carries the brake lining in the drum brakes used on
automobiles, or the brake block in train brakes and bicycle brakes.
Brake shoes are a vital component of a drum brake.Trommelbremsbacken Essentially, they comprise the
brake drum, the brake shoes, the wheel brake cylinder and the adjustment mechanism. The brake drum
is fixed to the wheel and turns with it. When the brakes are applied, the wheel brake cylinder forces
apart the fixed brake shoes and presses them against the brake drum, inducing braking. The brake shoes
are also the carrier of the friction material. During braking, there is natural wear of the friction material.
The decreasing thickness of the friction material is compensated by a mechanical adjustment
mechanism. However, it can only be compensated if there is sufficient friction material. When the wear
limit is reached, the entire brake shoe must be replaced.
A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc or "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.
Hydraulically actuated disc brakes are the most commonly used form of brake for motor vehicles, but the
principles of a disc brake are applicable to almost any rotating shaft.
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. Where the drum is
pinched between two shoes, similar to a conventional disc brake, it is sometimes called a pinch drum
brake, though such brakes are relatively rare. A related type called a band brake uses a flexible belt or
"band" wrapping around the outside of a drum.
The brake caliper piston houses your car's brake pads and pistons. Its job is to slow the car's wheels by
creating friction with the brake rotors. The brake caliper fits like a clamp on a wheel's rotor to stop the
wheel from turning when you step on the brakes.
Manual transmission or a stick-shift or manual gearbox or a standard transmission is a type of

transmission which the driver uses a stick to change gears literally. In the past, manual cars often had a
dash-mounted shifter or a steering column but nowadays, in modern vehicles, the gear stick is mounted
vertically in the center console and linked to the transmission through a linkage. Changing gears requires
the clutch disc (which is located between the transmission and the engine) to be released through a 3rd
pedal situated on the left of the brake. Then releasing the clutch, selecting the chosen gear and engaging
the clutch again. From a standstill, the disc will be wear out early if the driver engage the clutch too slow.
And if the driver engage the clutch too quick, it will make the engine to stall.
Studying how to drive a manual car takes more time than studying how to drive a automatic car, but it is
funner and easier than it sounds. When driving a car with manual transmission, you will feel there is a
connection between you and your car that is too hard to reproduce with an automatic transmission car.
And another cool thing is that if you can operate a manual transmission, you will be able to run any type
of vehicle.
Normally, a base-model vehicle is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. In more expensive
vehicles, a 6-speed transmission is equipped instead.
1. Clutch and Clutch Pedal
Consisting of various small components, the clutch transmits engine torque to the transmission. The
clutch pedal is a hydraulically controlled piece of gear that disengages the clutch when you depress it.
2. Flywheel
The circular mass sends engine torque to the clutch disc that interacts with a smooth surface of the
wheel.
3. Selector Fork and Collar
It’s an arm-like piece of gear that helps in moving the collars along the output shaft. On the other hand,
you can select different gears with the collar by locking it to a particular gear, resulting in passing the
torque to the output shaft from the layshaft.
4. Synchronizers
These help the gear and the collar to engage with each other and match their speed in case if there’s a
difference.
5. Layshaft and Output Shaft
The layshaft’s gears mesh with the output shaft’s gears when the first one receives the engine power.
6. Gears
You will find gears of various sizes in a manual gearbox. Larger ones have more teeth and provide more
torque to curtail the car’s speed while the smaller ones produce less torque so that your vehicle can run
at high speed.
