Brake and clutch parts and accessories are products related to brakes and clutches. Brake and clutch parts and accessories include components for mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electric systems, such as brake pads and rotors, liners, calipers, clutch cylinders and pedals. Brake and clutch parts and accessories are used in vehicles and heavy machinery to control the connection and disconnection of shafts in clutch mechanisms and to control the slowing or stopping of shafts in brake mechanisms. Different systems use different brake and clutch parts and accessories. For example, a pneumatic brake and clutch system uses compressed air or gas while a hydraulic system uses a fluid such as oil.

Brake and clutch parts and accessories for automobiles include parts for drum brakes or disc brakes. Drum brakes are a brake part that use brake shoes compressed against the drum. The brake shoe is typically covered with a brake liner that has a high coefficient of friction to slow the drum. Disc brakes use a brake pad mounted in a brake caliper that is compressed against a brake rotor to slow down the vehicle. Brake systems are hydraulic systems and also use brake fluid to transmit force to the brake system when the driver steps on the brake pedal.

Brake and clutch parts and accessories for clutch assemblies include individual components such as cylinders, pedals, and flywheels. Some companies sell all the components packaged into a clutch kit for replacing a clutch system in a particular make and model of vehicle. A hydraulic clutch uses a fluid to transfer power and requires that the clutch cylinder be filled with brake fluid to ensure proper functioning. A mechanical clutch uses a cable to connect the clutch pedal to the transmission. A centrifugal clutch is fitted with weights that force the clutch plate outward when it is spinning on a shaft. These clutches are used in smaller engines such motorcycles, dirt bikes, and chainsaws. Another type of clutch is a fan clutch, a small device with a fluid coupling and a thermostat to control a variable speed fan to keep the engine cool.
