In cars with disc brakes on all four wheels, an emergency brake has to be actuated by a separate mechanism
than the primary brakes in case of a total primary brake failure. Most cars use
a cable to actuate the emergency brake. |
Some cars with four-wheel disc brakes have a separate drum brake integrated into the hub of the rear wheels. This drum brake is only for the emergency
brake system, and it is actuated only by the cable; it has no hydraulics.
Other cars have a lever that turns a screw, or actuates a cam, which presses the piston of the disc brake. |
