What is the brake master cylinder, in fact, is the "brake master cylinder" we often talk about, and it is the main part of the vehicle's brake system. According to different models, it is divided into two types: air brake master cylinder and oil brake master cylinder. The cars and microbuses we often see use oil brake master cylinders. Having said that, I believe that many small partners don't know how they work. Next, let's analyze the working principle of the brake master cylinder.

Hydraulic brake master cylinder:

When the brake is stepped on, the piston in the brake master cylinder will be pushed by the brake pedal, and then act on the push rod to reduceBrake FluidIt is transmitted to the piston of each brake cylinder through the oil pipe,Then the brake shoes will be pushed to open outwards, causing friction between the brake pads and the inner surface of the brake drum, thereby achieving a braking effect.

Pneumatic brake master cylinder:

The working principle of the pneumatic brake master cylinder is not much different from that of the oil brake master cylinder, and both act as a valve. The difference is that the oil brake master cylinder will control the brake fluid to return to the oil storage tank after braking. Vehicles that use air brakes are usually equipped with several relatively large air storage tanks, which will directly exhaust the gas when the brakes are over, so this can explain why the exhaust sound of large trucks is so loud.
