Classification of Brakes
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.
Braking Component Structural Design
It can further be divided into external block brakes, internal expanding shoe brakes, band brakes, disc brakes, and more;
Brake component operating status
It can also be divided into normally closed brakes (which remain firmly braked and require external force to release) and normally open brakes (which stay unbraked and need external force to engage).
Control Method
These can also be categorized into brakes operated by human power, hydraulics, pneumatics, and electromagnetic force.
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 relies on the driver's physical strength as its energy source is called a manual braking system. A system that uses only the potential energy derived from air or hydraulic pressure generated by the engine for braking is known as a power braking system. Finally, a braking system that combines both manual effort and engine power for braking is referred to as a servo braking system or power-assisted braking system.
Brake Energy Transmission Method
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.
