How to Solve Air Leakage in the Automotive Brake Master Cylinder?
1 Answers
Automotive brake master cylinder air leakage can be resolved by: disassembling the brake master cylinder for cleaning, inspecting the air shut-off valve for any damage, and then applying some grease before reassembling. The brake master cylinder, also known as the brake main cylinder, is a key component of the vehicle's braking system. Depending on the vehicle type, it is categorized into two types: air brake master cylinder and hydraulic brake master cylinder. The primary function of the brake master cylinder is to push brake fluid to various brake wheel cylinders to actuate the pistons. To enhance driving safety and comply with traffic regulations, modern vehicles are equipped with a dual-circuit braking system, which utilizes a tandem dual-chamber master cylinder to form a dual-circuit hydraulic braking system.
