What type of braking mechanism does the component shown in the image correspond to?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The device shown is a disc brake. This system consists mainly of a metal disc that turns together with the wheel and a caliper fitted with friction pads that clamp the disc when braking. By contrast, a drum brake works by means of shoes that expand against the inner surface of a cylindrical drum. The “pneumatic type” option is incorrect because it refers to the energy used to transmit the braking force (compressed air, very common on buses), and not to the mechanical structure of the braking assembly on the wheel.
