What are the differences between ABS and conventional brakes

The differences between ABS and conventional brakes are mainly based on the response in emergency situations, since those equipped with the first system do not block. But these are not the only elements that allow us to distinguish both, in .com we detail what are the differences between ABS and conventional brakes .

one

The brakes with ABS system are based on sensors that communicate with an electronic system to avoid blockages and slips that conventional brakes lack.

two

The ABS system allows, when making an emergency braking, we can control the direction of the vehicle, so that while braking we can avoid an obstacle, something impossible with conventional brakes .

3

In terms of use, the ABS brake requires that we fully pedal the pedal and even the clutch, until the car is completely stopped; while with the conventional brakes what is recommended is that we braking gradually in order to avoid blocking.

4

We must bear in mind that, in a homogeneous surface, the braking distance is longer with ABS brakes than with conventional brakes . However, in cases of sliding surfaces, for example, with sand or gravel, the ABS will respond better and the distance traveled will be less.

5

The main advantage of conventional brakes over those equipped with ABS is that they are more economical in terms of repair and maintenance.

6

When we start to step on the brake and activate the ABS we will notice how the pedal vibrates. Unlike conventional brakes, this is not a sign that there is any problem or possible breakdown, it is normal in the operation of the ABS system .
