Brake Classification
Friction
① Friction brakes. They rely on the friction force between the braking component and the moving part to achieve braking.
② Non-friction brakes. The main structural types of brakes include magnetic powder brakes (which use the shear force generated by magnetizing magnetic powder to achieve braking), magnetic eddy current brakes (whose braking torque can be adjusted by regulating the excitation current), and water eddy current brakes, among others.
According to the structural form of the braking component
It can further be classified into external block-type brakes, internal expanding shoe brakes, band brakes, disc brakes, and more.
According to the operating state of the braking component
It can also be divided into normally closed brakes (which remain in the braking state and require an external force to release) and normally open brakes (which stay in the released state and need an external force to engage).
By control method
These can also be categorized into brakes operated by human power, hydraulics, pneumatics, and electromagnetic force.
According to the function of the braking system
The braking system can be categorized into the service brake system, parking brake system, emergency brake system, and auxiliary brake system, among others. Among these braking systems, the service brake system and the parking brake system are essential components that every vehicle must have.
Braking Control Energy
The braking system can be categorized into manual braking systems, power braking systems, and servo braking systems, among others. A braking system that uses the driver's physical strength as its energy source is called a manual braking system; a system that relies entirely on potential energy derived from air or hydraulic pressure generated by the engine's power is known as a power braking system; and a braking system that combines both manual input and engine power for braking is referred to as a servo braking system or power-assisted braking system.
According to the transmission method of braking energy
The braking system can be categorized into various types, including mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromagnetic systems. Additionally, a braking system that combines two or more of these energy-transmission methods is referred to as a combined braking system.

Introduction to Electro-Hydraulic Actuators
Electro-Hydraulic Actuators are a new type of power actuator that can replace hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders in industries such as mining, the steel industry, machinery manufacturing, lifting and transportation, tunnel excavation, marine facilities, signaling systems, the chemical industry, rock and soil engineering, and the petroleum industry. For instance, they can be used as power-driven devices in applications like mine car stoppers, safety gates, and swing platforms; in blast furnace operation cylinders during steelmaking; in lifting and transporting equipment for material handling; and even in railway switch machines.
