Mar Brotons (asker) Feb 23, 2007:
Anyone knows the difference between "freno de urgencia" and "freno de auxilio"? I had thought of translating the first one as "emergency brake".

auxiliary brake

My first thought and backed up by numerous web-sites, including:
SAB WABCO brake assemblies,
developed in collaboration with DAKOCZ
of Třemošnice, are fitted. On each
axle there is a friction disk brake with
two disk brakes on the wheels. There
are in fact nine different braking systems,
as follows:
- automatic brake,
- auxiliary brake,
- secondary brake,
- dynamic brake,
- pneumatic parking brake,
- spring parking brake,
- emergency brake,
- safety brake,
- electromagnetic rail brake.

Back-up brake

I would normally use "emergency brake" but as you already have this in the sentence "back-up" could be an option.

Peer comment(s):

neutral bigedsenior : In most cases, the secondary brake refers to the secondary brake Shoe on drum brakes, there being a primary and secondary shoe. They are usually different in the size and composition of the lining, especially in Lockheed type brakes.
