Brakes
A brake is a device by means of which artificial resistance is applied on to a moving machine member in order to retard or stop the motion of the member or machine. The break absorbs either kinematic energy of the moving member or potential energy given up by objects being lowered by hoists, elevators etc. The energy absorbed by the brakes is dissipated in the form of heat which is dissipated in the surrounding air or water which is circulated through the passages in the brake drum.

Design or capacity of brake depends upon the


The unit pressure b/w the braking surfaces The coefficient of friction b/w the breaking surfaces. The peripheral velocity of the brake drum. The projected area of the friction surfaces, and The ability of brake to dissipate heat equivalent to the energy being absorbed.

Types of brakes
Brakes are classified in the following three groups:1. Mechanical brakes 2. Hydraulic brakes 3. Electrical brakes

Mechanical brakes
Mechanical brakes are invariably based on the frictional resistance principles In mechanical brakes artificial resistances created using frictional contact between the moving member and a stationary member, to retard or stop the motion of the moving member. The mechanical brakes are classified as, 1. Block brakes 2. Internal or external shoes brakes 3. Disk brakes and band brakes

When the beam car has to emergency-brake, the slow-down speed is monitored. If it isnt sufficiently quick, the mechanical brakes will be applied. The braking force would be applied at F in the above figure by means of, for instance, in electrical relay.

Hydraulic brakes
These are the brakes which are operated by fluid pressure such as oil pressure or air pressure. The hydraulic brakes can not bring the member to rest and are mostly used where large amounts of energy are to be transformed while the brake is retarding the load such as in laboratory dynamometers, high way trucks and electrical locomotives.

Hydraulic brake system:- This system of braking is shown in figure above. The brake shoes are expanded by a cylinder having two opposed pistons. These are forced outwards by liquid under pressure conveyed by a pipe from the master cylinder. The piston of the master cylinder is worked by the brake pedal. When pressure on pedal is released, the brake shoe pulloff springs force the wheel pistons back into the cylinders and the liquid is returned to the master cylinder. A very important advantage of this system is that the pressure set up in the master cylinder is transmitted equally to all four wheel cylinders so that the braking effort is equal on all the wheels.

Electrical brakes
These are the brakes which are operated by the magnetic forces and which include magnetic particles brakes, hysteresis brakes and the eddy-current brake. These brakes are used for retarding or controlling the speed of vehicle for down- hill travel.
