Definition
A brake is a mechanical device which is used to either slow
down or stop a moving vehicle effectively in variable
conditions.

Principle
Pascal’s Law- It states that pressure exerted anywhere in a
confined incompressible fluid is transmitted equally in all
direction throughout the fluid.

 Types of
brakes
Drum brakes-
Disc Brakes-
 DISC VS DRUM BRAKES
Properties Drum Brakes Disc Brakes

Stopping power Low & takes time High & takes much less time

Heat dissipation Less (a compact type More (directly open to

system) surrounding)

Damage More (due to entrapped Less (as heat gets

overheat) transferred to environment)

Maintenance Difficult (need to open Easy (fitted externally so

whole of its assembly to easy to repair)
repair)

Adaptability to Technology Can not be used with ABS Can be used with ABS
 BASIC COMPONENTS OF
•Brake Pedal BRAKE
•Master Cylinder

•Brake Lines and Hoses

•Calipers

•Pistons

•Brake Pads

•Rotors Fig. 2
 MASTER CYLINDER
The master cylinder is a
control device that
converts non-hydraulic
pressure (commonly
from a driver's foot) Fig. 4

into hydraulic pressure.

 BRAKE LINES AND HOSES
•Brake lines are used to
transfer brake fluid from
master cylinder to calipers.
Fig. 6 Brake Line
•Steel brake lines are used.

•Brake hoses are used nearer

to the wheel for allowing
wheel movement.

•Standard brake hoses are

made up of rubber. Fig. 7 Brake Hose
 CALIPERS
Mainly two types of calipers

Fig. 8 Fixed caliper Fig. 9 Floating caliper

 BRAKING SYSTEMS
1.Diagonally Split
Maintain braking ability on
emergency one brake line
failure.
Requires two proportioning
valve

2.Longitudinally Split
Increased chances of skidding
on emergency one brake line
failure.
Requires only one
proportioning valve. Fig. 18
