A hydraulic braking system consists of the following components:
1. Brake pedal: The driver applies pressure on the brake pedal to activate the braking system.
2. Master cylinder: The master cylinder converts the mechanical force applied by the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure.
3. Brake lines: The hydraulic pressure generated by the master cylinder is transmitted through brake lines to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders.
4. Brake calipers or wheel cylinders: These components are located at each wheel and contain pistons that are actuated by the hydraulic pressure. The pistons push the brake pads against the brake rotor (disc brakes) or brake drum (drum brakes) to create friction and slow down the vehicle.
5. Brake fluid: Brake fluid is used to transmit hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders. It is a non-compressible fluid that ensures efficient transfer of force.
Working principle:
When the driver presses the brake pedal, the master cylinder generates hydraulic pressure that is transmitted through the brake lines to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders. The pistons in the calipers or cylinders are actuated by this pressure, causing the brake pads to make contact with the brake rotor or drum. The resulting friction between the pads and rotor/drum slows down the vehicle.
