What is the adjustment method for the brake master cylinder push rod?
1 Answers
Locate the push rod of the cylinder, which has two screws on it. Adjust the push rod travel by tightening or loosening these screws. Below is a related introduction to the brake master cylinder: 1. The brake master cylinder, also known as the "brake main cylinder" or "brake master cylinder," is a key component of the vehicle's braking system. In oil-brake systems, the master cylinder has a reservoir for brake fluid at the top, while the lower part contains a cylinder with a piston and inlet/outlet ports. 2. Its working principle is as follows: When the brake pedal is pressed, the piston inside the cylinder is pushed by the force from the pedal, and the push rod transmits this force to pressurize the brake fluid, which is then sent to each wheel's brake slave cylinder to generate braking force. When the brake pedal is released, the outlet port of the master cylinder closes, and the inlet port opens, allowing the brake fluid to flow back from the slave cylinders to the master cylinder, returning to its original state.
