HYDRAULIC BRAKING SYSTEM


It is one of the most uses full braking system.it is called hydraulic braking system because the force is applied by the liquid pressure.

 SYTEM IS USED DUHYDRAULIC BRAKINGE TO
  1. .For equal braking effort hydraulic braking system we us
  2. .Easy to construct due to absence of brake rod
  3. .The rate of wear is less


CONSTRUCTION

The main component of hydraulic braking system is
  1. .master cylinder
  2. . wheel cylinder

         Master cylinder is a cylinder  which contains reservoir for brake fluid ,. Master cylinder is operated by brake pedal  and connected to wheel cylinder of each wheel through the steel pipe lines.
The system is filled with the liquid  under low pressure when brakes are not applied .the liquid is known as brake fluid  and usually mixture of glycerin ,alcohol and some additives.
  Each wheel brake consist a cylinder brake i.e drum or disc which is mounted inside the wheel.



WORKING PRINCIPLE

Hydraulic  braking system works on principle of friction. master cylinder basically piston cylinder  device contains brake fluid  .
 When brake pedal is applied push rod moves the inside the cylinder which build up a pressure .
Due to this pressure  hydraulic fluid is  forced  inside the pipe lines  under pressure.

Then this fluid enters to the wheel where as a  small piston cylinder arrangement called caliper. this high pressure oil push the  piston pads towards the drum /disk .three by brake is applied.
