In this system, With less effort, we can achieve high braking force.
PASCAL’S LAW:- The pascal law states that “Pressure at any point in a static fluid is equal
in all directions”.
Hence such pascal’s law is used in the hydraulic braking system to apply the brake.

1)PEDAL:- Brake pedal is pivoted and connected from middle to piston rod. When the
driver presses the pedal, the piston presses the fluid inside the master cylinder.
2)MASTER CYLINDER:- It consists of piston, oil & return spring. When the driver presses
the pedal, the piston presses the oil inside the master cylinder.
The oil reservoir is connected to the master cylinder which maintains the oil quantity inside
the system.
Return spring is used to maintain pressure on the piston therefore when the driver releases
the brake pedal, the piston comes to its original position.
4) CYLINDER 2:- It is located inside the wheel drum. It consists of the two-piston & Piston
rods are connected to the shoes. When oil comes from the master cylinder, oil enters into
cylinder 2 hence both pistons expand.
5) BRAKE SHOES:- There are 2 brake shoes used in the brake drum. Both piston rods are
connected to one end of the shoes. Other ends of the shoes are hinged Brake shoes have
friction lining on the outer surface.
Hence when the driver presses the pedal, the pistons of cylinder 2 expands therefore
Resulting in brake shoes expands therefore due to friction between shoes & brake drum,
Wheel stops.
The shoes are connected with the return spring. Therefore When the driver releases the
clutch pedal, Pressure on oil releases hence shoes are coming to their original position due
to spring.
1) When the driver presses the brake pedal, the piston presses the oil inside the master
cylinder.
3) Now, Oil enters inside the cylinder 2. Hence both piston expands due to oil pressure.
4) Due to piston movement, brake shoes expand inside the brake drum.
Therefore due to friction between shoes & brake drum, the wheel stops.
