Brakes
The braking system on the car 1 - hydraulic line;
2 - the brake pedal;
3 - the master cylinder;
4 - the vacuum brake booster;
5 - the front brake (disk);
6 - a support; | 7 - Rear brake (drum);
8 - brake cylinder;
9 - the parking brake;
10 - the parking brake cable;
11 - the parking brake lever;
12 - the brake hose. |
Hydraulic braking system uses pressure fluid to transmit force to the front and rear brakes. Hydraulic braking system works as follows:
The brake pedal is connected to the hydraulic actuator, called the master cylinder.
When the pedal is pressed, the pressure is transmitted from the master cylinder through
metal tubes and flexible hoses for brake cylinders rear brake pads and front disc brakes.
Brake cylinders are hydraulic actuators, which convert the hydraulic pressure generated by the master cylinder in motion.
The pistons of the rear brake cylinders, press on the brake pads, which are in contact with the metal surface of the brake drum.
The pistons of the front brake cylinders move in the direction of brake pad is pressed against the metal surface of the brake discs.
When the brake pedal is released, the pressure in the system decreases, causing the brake pads and the pistons are returned to neutral, ie. E. Non-working position.
If brake fluid leaks from one or two loops of the liquid level sensor in the master cylinder includes indicator light in the instrument cluster. The lamp lights up when the float in the master cylinder drops below a certain level and closes an electrical circuit. If the sensor contacts are closed, the lamp is switched on and off, until the ignition switch is in the ON or START. If the lamp is lit, make sure that the parking brake is fully released position. This lamp is used to indicate low brake fluid level and the parking brake.
