1. OVERVIEW

Even though a driver cuts off the power, while driving, the vehicle continues to move due to the law of 

inertia. Therefore, a braking device is needed to stop the vehicle. The brake system normally uses the 

frictional discs that converts the kinetic energy to the thermal energy by frictional operation. The brake 

system consists of the brake disc (front wheel), brake disc or drum (rear wheel), parking brake 

(mechanical type), master cylinder, booster, pedal and supply lines (pipes and hoses).

Hydraulic brake

▶ 

Brake pedal

▶

This system uses the leverage effect and Pascal's 

principle. When depressing the brake pedal, the 

pedal pressure is increased by booster and is 

delivered to master cylinder to generate hydraulic 

pressure. The hydraulic pressure generated by 

the master cylinder is delivered to the brake 

caliper through the brake pipes or hoses. This 

hydraulic pressure pushes the brake calipers, 

accordingly the caliper pads are contacted to 

brake disc to generate the braking force.

Brake pedal uses the leverage effect to apply 

bigger force to the brake master cylinder.
