The action of a wheel which is skidding, that is to say, one which has ceased rotating even though the car is still in motion.

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

L'azione di una ruota che slitta, sarebbe a dire di una ruota che ha cessato di ruotare anche se l'automobile è ancora in movimento.

Also known as antiskid brakes, modern ABS systems electronically monitor the speed of the wheels and regulate the hydraulic pressure accordingly. The aim is to maximise braking power while preventing the wheels from locking and skidding.

La sala macchine di un impianto frenante, dove la forza applicata al pedale è convertita in pressione idraulica che può essere inviato a ciascun cilindro ruota.

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

The thickness at which a disc rotor must be discarded. Through wear and machining a disc rotor becomes thinner over time; as a result it becomes less able to dissipate heat and more prone to warping and other problems. The minimum thickness is usually determined by the vehicle manufacturer.

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

Lo spessore in un rotore disco deve essere ignorato. Attraverso l'usura e la lavorazione di un disco rotore diventa più sottile nel tempo; di conseguenza diventa meno in grado di dissipare il calore e più inclini a orditura e altri problemi. Lo spessore minimo è solitamente determinato dal costruttore del veicolo.

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

Brakes which use power-assistance (usually from engine vacuum) to magnify the pedal force, thereby reducing driver effort and increasing braking power.

Domain: Automotive; Category: Braking systems

Freni che utilizzano il potere-assistenza (solitamente dal vuoto del motore) per magnificare la forza pedale, quindi riducendo lo sforzo del conducente e aumentando la potenza frenante.
