Vehicle braking technologies

right|thumb|Disc brake on a [[motorcycle]] A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion by absorbing energy from a moving system. It is used for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle, wheel, axle, or to prevent its motion, most often accomplished by means of friction.
