• A brake system
• is a mechanical or hydraulic system that is
responsible for slowing down or stopping a vehicle.
It typically includes components such as brake
pads, rotors, drums, calipers, wheel cylinders, brake
lines, and a master cylinder. When the brake pedal
is pressed, the brake system activates and applies
friction to the wheels, which slows down the
vehicle. There are different types of brake systems,
including disc brakes and drum brakes, each with its
own unique design and working principle.
• • The purpose of braking system is
• – To reduce the speed of the vehicle or
• – to keep the speed constant on the downhill
gradient
• – to bring it to a halt or to keep it stationary.
Hydraulic Brake system

• The hydraulic brake system is a type of braking


system that uses hydraulic fluid to transfer force
from the brake pedal to the brake pads or shoes,
which then apply pressure to the brake rotors or
drums to slow down or stop the vehicle. This
system relies on the principles of fluid dynamics
and pressure to effectively and efficiently control
the vehicle's speed and stopping power.
The working principle of a hydraulic brake system involves
the use of hydraulic fluid to transfer force from the brake
pedal to the brake pads or shoes. When the brake pedal is
pressed, it activates a master cylinder, which in turn
pressurizes the hydraulic fluid in the brake lines.

This pressurized fluid then forces the brake pads or shoes


against the brake rotors or drums, creating friction and
slowing down the vehicle. The hydraulic brake system also
includes a series of components such as calipers, wheel
cylinders, and brake lines that work together to amplify
the force applied by the brake pedal and ensure
consistent and reliable braking performance.


The pneumatic brake system

• is a type of braking system that uses compressed air


to transfer force from the brake pedal to the brake
pads or shoes, which then apply pressure to the
brake rotors or drums to slow down or stop the
vehicle. This system is commonly used in heavy-
duty vehicles such as trucks and buses, as well as in
some railway applications. Pneumatic brake
systems rely on the principles of air pressure and
mechanical linkage to control the vehicle's speed
and stopping power.
• The working principle of a pneumatic brake system
• involves the use of compressed air to transfer force
from the brake pedal to the brake pads or shoes. When
the brake pedal is pressed, it activates a pneumatic
valve that releases compressed air into the brake
chamber. This air pressure then forces the brake pads or
shoes against the brake rotors or drums, creating
friction and slowing down the vehicle.

• The pneumatic brake system also includes a series of
mechanical linkages and components such as brake
chambers, slack adjusters, and pushrods that work
together to amplify the force applied by the brake pedal
and ensure consistent and reliable braking
performance.
