Study Notes
Brake Master Cylinder Components
-
Secondary System Brake Fluid Reservoir: Stores brake fluid for the secondary braking system. Critical for maintaining pressure in this system.
-
Secondary Piston Assembly: Contains the secondary piston, which generates hydraulic pressure in the secondary braking circuit when the brake pedal is pressed.
-
Return Spring (secondary): A spring that returns the secondary piston to its original position after braking, ensuring the system resets for the next brake application.
-
Brake Outlet Port (secondary): The outlet from the brake master cylinder that directs brake fluid to the secondary braking system, facilitating brake action.
-
Brake Outlet Port (primary): The outlet for fluid in the primary braking system. It allows hydraulic fluid to flow to the primary brake circuits for effective braking.
-
Return Spring (primary): Springs situated in the primary piston assembly that return the primary piston to its rest position after brake application, enabling the system to function effectively for subsequent use.
-
Primary System Brake Fluid Reservoir: Holds brake fluid for the primary braking system. Essential for maintaining hydraulic pressure within this circuit.
-
Primary Piston Assembly: Houses the primary piston that compresses brake fluid in the primary brake system when the brake pedal is applied, generating necessary pressure for braking.
-
Brake Pedal: The input mechanism that activates the brake master cylinder when pressed. It translates driver intention into mechanical movement, engaging the brake systems.
-
Brake Booster: A device that amplifies the force applied to the brake pedal, enhancing braking efficiency. It reduces the required pedal force by using vacuum or hydraulic pressure assistance.
