Difference between Brake and Retarder (mechanical engineering)

Brake vs. Retarder (mechanical engineering)

A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion by absorbing energy from a moving system. A retarder is a device used to augment or replace some of the functions of primary friction-based braking systems, usually on heavy vehicles.

Similarities between Brake and Retarder (mechanical engineering)

Brake and Retarder (mechanical engineering) have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Brake fade, Compression release engine brake, Dynamic braking, Electromagnetic induction, Engine braking, Friction, Power (physics), Railway brake, Regenerative brake, Vehicle, Wheel.

Brake fade

Vehicle braking system fade, or brake fade, is the reduction in stopping power that can occur after repeated or sustained application of the brakes, especially in high load or high speed conditions.

Electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (i.e., voltage) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.

Engine braking

Engine braking occurs when the retarding forces within an engine are used to slow a vehicle down, as opposed to using additional external braking mechanisms such as friction brakes or magnetic brakes.

Regenerative brake

Regenerative braking is an energy recovery mechanism which slows a vehicle or object by converting its kinetic energy into a form which can be either used immediately or stored until needed.
