    Automotive brake course assignment 1

    1. Name the two methods of attaching brake lining materials to break shoes.
    Two methods of attaching brake lining materials to brake shoes are riveting and bonding.
    Riveting uses metal rivets, while bonding involves a high-temperature resistant adhesive. Each
    method has its particular advantages.
    There are two common methods of attaching brake lining materials to the brake shoes in
    vehicles: riveting and bonding. Riveting involves using metal rivets to fasten the brake lining to
    the shoe. This method has been in use for many years and is known for allowing easy
    identification of lining wear because the heads of the rivets become exposed as the lining wears
    down. On the other hand, bonding uses a high-temperature resistant adhesive to fix the lining to
    the shoe. Bonded linings offer a smooth surface and can be more effective in transferring heat,
    which helps in preventing brake fade. They do not have rivet holes, which eliminates the
    potential for rust and weakening of the shoe that can occur with riveted linings. Each method has
    its advantages and is chosen based on application, performance requirements, and cost
    considerations.
    2. Explain how drum brakes creates a self-multiplying break force.
    As the brake shoe moves outward, it pushes against the actuating lever, which rotates the brake
    cam. The brake cam in turn pushes the other brake shoe, amplifying the force exerted by the
    initial brake shoe. This process is known as self-multiplying brake force or servo action.
    The primary shoe wedges against the rotating drum while the drum tries to pull the shoe along
    with it. This self-energizing action pulls the shoe even more tightly against the drum, multiplying
    the braking force.
    3. List at least 5 separate types of wear and distortion to look for when inspecting brake
    drums.
     Heat checks.
     Bell-mouthed drum.
     Threaded drum surface.
     Out of round drums.
     Scored drum face.
    4. What is the job of wheel cylinder stops?
    The job of wheel cylinder stops is to prevent the leaking of hydraulic fluid present in the
    cylinder. It also prevents the cylinder from generating excess pressure inside it when the brake
    shoes are worn. It also increases safe brake performance.

    5. Explain the operation of an integral drum brake parking brake.


    An integral parking brake system is part of the rear drum brake system. A cable is attached to the
    brake lever. The lever pushes the rear shoe outward, and the brake strut forces the forward shoe
    into the drum. The secondary shoe faces the rear of the vehicle.
    6. Explain why bleeding air out off a hydraulic system is so important.
    When air contaminates a hydraulic fluid, usually via the pump's inlet, aeration, cavitation, or
    foaming can occur. Aeration is bad news, as it degrades the hydraulic fluid causing damage to
    the components of the system due to loss of lubrication, resulting in overheating and burning of
    the seals.
    7. Explain why modern hydraulic breaking systems are dual designs and why this is
    important.
    A front/rear split system uses one master cylinder section to pressurize the front caliper pistons
    and the other section to pressurize the rear caliper pistons. A split circuit braking system is now
    required by law in most countries for safety reasons; if one circuit fails, the other circuit can still
    stop the vehicle.
    8. Describe the functions of the hydraulic system of the hydraulic system combination valve.
    Combination valves usually serve three functions:
    During a panic stop, the Proportioning Valve prevents the rear brakes from locking up. The
    Metering Valve holds off on applying the front brakes long enough for the fluid pressure to
    overcome the return springs in the back brakes.
