How Many Pistons Are in the Brake Caliper of a Bentley Flying Spur?
1 Answers
Bentley Flying Spur's brake caliper has one piston on the master cylinder and two on the slave cylinder. Structure of the Brake System: The main components of the brake system include the brake pedal, master cylinder, brake booster, slave cylinder, brake caliper, brake pads, brake discs, and an additional braking assistance device, the ABS pump. Working Principle of the Brake System: When the brake pedal is pressed, the force is transmitted to the master cylinder. The master cylinder piston pushes the brake fluid forward, which then moves the slave cylinder. The slave cylinder pushes the brake pads to clamp the brake disc. For turbocharged engines, the vacuum comes from a vacuum pump. Therefore, vacuum is only generated when the engine is running. After the engine is turned off, the vacuum source is no longer sustained, and assistance cannot be provided.
