mechanical brake

Until the 1950s, mechanical brakes dominated the world market.

There were Bendix mechanical brakes on all four wheels.

Champion's version did replace the mechanical brakes with hydraulic.

The brake pedal still operated mechanical brakes using cables.

Each train is also provided with mechanical brakes to act as emergency brakes if the main cable should break.

It could do 60 mph, had a modern gearbox and electrical system, and stopped better with mechanical brakes on all four wheels.

Also, 4-wheel mechanical brakes became standard.

Stopping power came from Girling mechanical brakes.

The main gear includes mechanical brakes.

Should the hydraulic breaks fail, the brake pedal would activate a set of mechanical brakes for the back wheels.

"Number One" has hard rubber tires, two-wheel mechanical brakes, a four-cylinder engine, and a plywood body.

A hybrid vehicle drivetrain uses electrical retardation to assist the mechanical brakes, while recycling the energy.

However, an eddy current brake cannot provide a "holding" torque and so may be used in combination with mechanical brakes, for example, on overhead cranes.

Most people now convert their classic cars from mechanical brakes to hydraulic brakes to get better braking efficiency.

Tatra 30 has mechanical brakes, while Tatra 52 has hydraulic ones.

As such, vehicles must be fitted with lights, license plates and mechanical brakes, the Segway is effectively banned from public roads.

The mainwheels have oleo-pneumatic damping and mechanical brakes; the nosewheel swivels.

Bendix mechanical brakes were fitted.

Edsel also prevailed upon his father to allow the inclusion of four-wheel mechanical brakes and a sliding-gear transmission on this model.

Air bags, polystyrene pellets, and magnetic or mechanical brakes are sometimes used to arrest the fall of the experimental payload.

Should the hydraulic brakes fail (i.e. the brake line had a leak in it), the mechanical brakes would be used to stop the car.

On an ergometer with mechanical brakes the force is the resistance (kg) added to the flywheel, while distance is:

Suspension was by semi-elliptic springs all round,and after experiments with hydraulic brakes Auburn opted for mechanical brakes.

Unlike the three-wheeled Kabinenrollers, which had cable-operated mechanical brakes, the Tg500 had hydraulic brakes.

Other features included worm-and-roller steering, hydraulic shock absorbers by Houdaille, and mechanical brakes by Bendix.
