DEFINITION OF HYDRAULICS : “The technology of controlling pressurized fluids to create force and motion is known as Hydraulics.” HYDRAULIC PRINCIPLES : Fluids cannot be compressed Fluids can transmit Movement Acts “Like a steel rod” in a closed container Master cylinder transmits fluid to wheel cylinder or caliper piston bore . Fluids can transmit and increase force Pressure = force / area
HYDRAULIC BREAKING SYSTEM : “The braking systems which works with the help of hydraulic principles is known as hydraulic braking systems .” HYRAULIC BRAKING SYSTEM CAN BE OPERATED BY : Vacuum, Hydro or Motor assisted Disc System Drum System Dual System
Hydraulic pressure is distributed equally in all directions by the same principle. Same line of pressure will be exerted on all wheels . The Hydraulic pressure is the same, but the applied force can be changed by the piston size . The applied pressure can be raised or lowered by piston size.
MASTER CYLINDER : Provides a reservoir for brake fluid and contains the driving pistons in the hydraulic circuit THEY ARE OF 2 TYPES Front - Rear split - One piston for front brakes and one for rear - If a leak occurs you could lose front brakes Diagonally split - One piston drives one front wheel and one rear wheel - Diagonal layout allows you to maintain directional control if a leak occurs
BRAKE FLUIDS : The fluid through which the energy is passed in hydraulic braking systems is known as BRAKE FLUID. Properties of Brake Fluid Does not thicken or then with changing heat Must not boil. Must be compatible with brake parts material Must lubricate internal parts Must not evaporate easily
