What Is a Brake and How Is Brake Control Performed?

The systems that reduce or completely stop the speed of a moving object or vehicle are called the Brake System.

This system, which exists entirely for safety purposes, can operate differently in modern vehicles.

A two-stage safety management is implemented inside the vehicle, operated by pedal and foot force and also usable by hand.

The strength of the brake system in vehicles is also an indicator of the vehicle's safety system.

As main categories, brake systems in vehicles are generally as follows:

• Hydraulic Brake System
• Air Brake System
• ABS Brake System
• ESR Brake System
• EBD Brake System
• BAS Brake System
• EPB System
• MSR Brake System
• Hill Start Assist System

While brake control in passenger cars requires less force and effort, the importance of this system is much greater in heavy-duty vehicles. Because brake control and stopping distance are critically important, especially in heavy-duty vehicles carrying loads.

Air Brake Systems are generally used in heavy-duty vehicles.

Since brake systems directly affect safety in all vehicles, regular control and testing are of great importance.

The NM FT-01 Brake Test Simulator produced by Nitro Mekatronik performs brake tests on heavy-duty vehicles and offers workshops a major advantage.

The NM FT-01 Brake Test Simulator allows testing brake systems such as Wabco, Knorr, and Haldex without needing the vehicle connected.

Thanks to the NM FT-01 Brake Test Simulator, mounting the tested and repaired system on the vehicle saves significant time and effort.

Air circuit tests of brake systems and damper valves can be performed successfully with the NM FT-01 Brake Test Simulator.

Furthermore, since this device includes the air compressor required for testing, it prevents additional costs for the user.
