Ezweni elisheshayo lobuchwepheshe bezimoto, enye yezingxenye ezibaluleke kakhulu eziqinisekisa ukuphepha komshayeli nokusebenza kwemoto mhlawumbe ingaphansi kakhulu - isicathulo sebhuleki. Njengengxenye ebalulekile yesistimu yokubhuleka, isicathulo sebhuleki sidlala indima ebalulekile ekhonweni lemoto lokunciphisa isivinini ngokuphepha nangempumelelo.
Uma umshayeli ecindezela i-brake pedal, i-hydraulic system esemotweni iyenza isebenzeizicathulo zamabhuleki, okubenza bacindezele endaweni engaphakathi yesigubhu sebhuleki noma i-rotor. Lokhu kungqubuzana phakathi kwesicathulo sebhuleki nesigubhu noma i-rotor yikho ekugcineni okwenza imoto ihambe kahle.
Ngaphandle komsebenzi wayo oyinhloko, ukusebenza kahle kwe-bhuleka isicathulokubalulekile ekuphepheni kukonke kanye nokusebenza kwemoto. U-Janelle Adams, unjiniyela wezimoto onguchwepheshe bezinhlelo zokubhuleka, uyacacisa, “Ukwakheka kwezinto kanye nokwakheka kwesicathulo samabhuleki kuba nomthelela omkhulu ekusebenzeni kwaso. Izicathulo zamabhuleki ezisezingeni eliphezulu azinikezi nje kuphela ukungqubuzana okungaguquki ukuze kubhuleke kahle kodwa futhi zifaka isandla ekuqineni kukonke nasekuthembekeni kwesistimu yokubhuleka.”
Abakhiqizi baqhubeka nokusungula izinto ezintsha ukuze bathuthukise ikhwalithi nokusebenza kwezicathulo zamabhuleki. Izinto ezithuthukisiwe ezifana ne-ceramic kanye ne-carbon-based compounds zihlanganiswa ekwakhiweni kwezicathulo zamabhuleki ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukunqanyulwa kokushisa nokunciphisa ukuguga, ngaleyo ndlela andise isikhathi sokuphila sesistimu yokubhuleka. Ukwengeza, intuthuko ekwakhiweni kwesicathulo sebhuleki, njengokuthuthukisiwe kwamaphiko akhipha ukushisa nezici zokunciphisa umsindo, kuhloswe ngayo ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwamabhuleki kanye nokunethezeka komshayeli.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ezimotweni ezisindayo kanye nemikhumbi yezentengiselwano, ukwethembeka kwesicathulo se-brake kubaluleke kakhulu. “Abashayeli bezimoto babeka phambili ukuphepha nokusebenza kahle kwezimoto zabo, futhi ukusebenza kwe-brake shoe kuyisici esibalulekile ekufinyeleleni lezo zinhloso,” kusho u-Andrew Hayes, umphathi wemikhumbi oneminyaka engaphezu kwengu-15 yokuhlangenwe nakho. “Ikhono lesicathulo samabhuleki ukumelana nemithwalo esindayo kanye nokusetshenziswa kwama-high-frequency kubalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukuphepha kwemoto kanye nabagibeli bayo kuphela kodwa nendawo ezungezile.”
Ukugcinwa njalo nokuhlolwa kwezicathulo zamabhuleki kubaluleke kakhulu ekuphakamiseni izinga lokuphepha nokusebenza kwemoto. Ochwepheshe batusa ukuhlolwa okuvamile ukuze kuqashwe ukuguga nokukhala, ukulungiswa okufanele kwesicathulo samabhuleki, nokushintshwa okufika ngesikhathi lapho kudingekile. Ukudebeselela ukunakekelwa okunjalo kungaholela ekwehleni kokusebenza kwamabhuleki, ukuphepha okubucayi, kanye nokwehluleka kwemishini okungaba khona.
Sengiphetha, isicathulo samabhuleki esivame ukunganakwa sime njengengxenye ebalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukuphepha nokusebenza kwezimoto. Njengoba imboni yezimoto iqhubeka nokuthuthuka, ukuqhubeka nokutshalwa kwezimali ocwaningweni nasekuthuthukisweni kobuchwepheshe bezicathulo zamabhuleki kuzodlala indima ebalulekile ekuthuthukiseni ukusebenza kahle kwamabhuleki, ukuphepha kwabangaphakathi, kanye nolwazi lokushayela lulonke. Ngokuthuthuka okuqhubekayo kanye nokubeka phambili ukuphepha emkhakheni wezimoto, ukubaluleka kwebhuleka isicathuloekuphepheni nasekusebenzeni kwemoto akukwazi ukweqiwa.
