Sentences with phrase «friction brakes not»

Braking action too is mechanical and precise — Honda's regenerative braking works well, with friction brakes not engaging under milder stops at speeds below 5 mph.

Not exact matches

But it's not only the sheer stopping power that impresses, it's also how the car copes with split - friction turf, hot brake discs, and wet pavement.

When performing a very strong braking from medium - to - high speed on good surface, chances are that the limiting factor is not the ABS system nor the friction with the tarmac, but braking power.

Basic physical laws (e.g. Friction = NormalForce * ConstantCoefficient), by the way, can not describe correctly such a complex scenario as a great mass braking on an uneven surface, with tyres deforming, car pitching on the nose, vibrations from the ABS kicking in.

This however does not hold true for rear wheel drive vehicles which can have a strong weight transfer (high, soft - suspension cars, as most US vehicles), as the added braking force on the rear wheels without added (weight - transfer caused) friction could cause wheel lockup and possibly loss of control of the vehicle.

I had drum brakes on my Land Rover (8», 10» single and twin leading shoe), and what you can try is to chamfer the leading edge of the friction material - only needs 1/8» depth 60 degrees - so that the shoe does not «grab» on first contact.

Note that it will not spin completely freely as there is some friction provided by the brakes even when not applied, but usually you can get at least one revolution.

The brake system is not related to tires, other than to provide friction between the ground and the bike.

Rimac hasn't scrimped on the car's friction braking system either — enormous 390 mm Brembo CCMR carbon - ceramic rotors fill each wheel rim, gripped by six - piston calipers all round.

Since the regen slows the car at a rate of about 0.2 g, you don't use the friction brakes often in normal driving, but I finally gave the AP Racing brakes a workout tearing down the back roads.

The Leaf's braking response is smooth and predictable, and that's a big deal; in some alternative - fuel cars, brake - pedal feel is half - baked, with the traditional friction brakes and regenerative braking system not well - synchronized.

You're still confusing the two types of classical friction due to the use of ABS: it's not enough to say «sufficient braking power to lock the wheels» as that would just be a skid.

Be careful not to get grease on the discs braking / friction surface.

Regenerative braking is not by itself sufficient as the sole means of safely bringing a vehicle to a standstill, or slowing it as required, so it must be used in conjunction with another braking system such as friction - based braking.

The low - friction design of the brake calipers reduces energy losses when the brakes are not in use, directly improving fuel efficiency.

Making extensive use of the regenerative braking will not only extend your range, but will also extend the life of the friction brakes.

In milder stops, Honda says the friction brakes may not engage until 5 mph and below.

On very low friction surfaces, the full 6ms - 2 braking may not be achieved and the full benefit of Multi Collision Brake may not be realised.

This includes but is not limited to: ceiling and floor tiles, roofing shingles, heat, sound and electrical insulation, and friction materials such as automobile brake lining and transmission parts.
