Frenler

Frenler is the Turkish plural of "fren," meaning brakes. In general use, the term refers to devices or systems designed to slow or stop the motion of a machine, vehicle, or other moving parts by converting kinetic energy into heat, electrical energy, or deformation. The word is borrowed from European languages (French frein) and is commonly used in automotive, railway, bicycle, and industrial contexts.

Functionally, frenler provide controlled deceleration and hold vehicles stationary when parked. They are critical for safety, vehicle control, and stopping distance management. Brake systems are engineered to operate reliably under varied loads, speeds, and environmental conditions.

Types of frenler include mechanical systems (cable- or rod-actuated), hydraulic brakes (common in passenger cars), drum brakes and disc brakes (differing in design and heat dissipation), air brakes (used on heavy trucks and buses), and regenerative brakes (recapturing energy in electric and hybrid vehicles). Specialized systems include electromagnetic and eddy-current brakes used in rail applications and industrial machinery.

Regular maintenance—inspection of pads, rotors, fluid, and linkages—is essential to ensure performance and longevity. Brake systems are subject to safety standards and regulations that specify performance, testing, and maintenance intervals. Advances in materials, electronics, and energy recovery continue to influence the design and efficiency of modern frenler systems.
