This seminar report summarizes the key components and working of a hydraulic braking system. It describes how braking systems inhibit vehicle motion by converting kinetic energy to heat energy through friction. The report outlines the construction of a hydraulic braking system including the brake pedal, master cylinder, lines, calipers, pads/rotors or drums. It also discusses types of brakes like disc and drum, components like the proportioning valve and brake fluids, and advanced systems like ABS.

Introduction

Inhibits motion of the vehicle.

Friction helps to convert kinetic energy of the


vehicle into heat energy.

Hydraulic Brake System

This system uses a brake fluid (Preferably


ethylene glycol) to transfer the pressure applied
by the operator from the controlling unit to the
actual brake mechanism, which is usually at or
near the wheel of the vehicle.

Most vehicles in India prefer to have drum brakes


on rear wheels while disk brakes on the front
wheels attached to the hydraulic controlling unit

Construction

Brake pedal or lever

A pushrod (also called an actuating rod)

A master cylinder assembly containing a piston assembly


(made up of either one or two pistons, a return
spring, a series of gaskets/ O-rings and a fluid reservoir)

Reinforced hydraulic lines

Brake caliper assembly consisting of one or two hollow


aluminium or chrome-plated steel pistons (called caliper
pistons), a set of thermally conductive brake pads and
a rotor (also called a brake disc) or drum attached to an axle

The system is filled with a glycol-ether based brake fluid

Hydraulic Brake System

Working

Master Cylinder

Brake Circuits

Front/rear split brake system

Diagonalsplit brake system

Types of Brakes

Disc Brakes

Advantages of Disk Brakes

They dissipate heat better.

They are more effective.

Performs better in wet conditions.
