How Does the Braking System Work?
1 Answers
The working principle of the braking system is that automotive braking systems are divided into two types: hydraulic braking and pneumatic braking. Hydraulic braking uses the master cylinder to transmit brake fluid as the medium through the brake lines to each wheel cylinder, while pneumatic braking uses high-pressure gas as the braking medium, which is then delivered through the lines to each wheel cylinder. The components of the braking system are as follows: 1. Energy supply device: includes various components that supply and regulate the energy required for braking and improve the state of the transmission medium; 2. Control device: components that generate braking action and control braking effects, such as the brake pedal; 3. Transmission device: includes components that transmit braking energy to the brakes, such as the master cylinder and wheel cylinder; 4. Brake: components that generate resistance to the movement or tendency of movement of the vehicle.
