Brake System
There are many parts to a brake system. To start at the beginning with the the basics, you have your brake pedal. When you push your pedal there is as rod that pushes on to the master cylinder, that is the part that holds your brake fluid.That fluid then travels threw your brake lines and hoses. Once the fluid reaches the front calipers.
The automotive brake system is designed to slow and stop each of the four wheels. First is the brake pedal which is the lever that pushes the push rod into the master cylinder.
The Master cylinder holds the brake fluid and pushes the brake fluid to all four wheels. There is also a power assist vacuum booster or hydro booster. Power assist is used to reduce the amount of effort the driver must use to slow or stop the vehicle. Fluid then travels through the brake lines and hose to a hydraulic part called the caliper or wheel cylinder. Which apply pressure to the freedom material called brake pads or shoes. They apply pressure to rotors or drums attached to the four hubs.
Many vehicles are equipped with anti-lock brake system (ABS) This system prevents the wheels from locking up or sliding. It monitors the wheel speed through wheel speed sensors and pulses the brake fluid pressure going to the wheels starting to lock up.
