Fékkalapácsokat

Fékkalapácsokat, which translates to "brake hammers" in English, is a term that generally refers to components within a braking system. These components are not actual hammers used for striking, but rather specialized parts that interact with the brake pads or shoes. Their primary function is to facilitate the braking action.

In some older or simpler braking systems, the term might have referred to the lever or cam mechanism that applies force to the brake shoe, causing it to press against the drum. This action creates friction, which slows or stops the vehicle. In more modern disc brake systems, the equivalent function is often performed by the caliper, which houses the brake pads. The caliper acts as the housing for the friction material and utilizes hydraulic pressure to push the pads against the rotor.

The specific design and nomenclature of these components can vary significantly depending on the type of braking system, the era of the vehicle, and the manufacturer. While the direct translation might suggest a forceful impact, the actual operation is typically a controlled application of pressure. Understanding the precise role of a "fékkalapács" requires knowledge of the specific braking system it is part of.
