 1. What is Hydraulic Braking System
• A hydraulic brakes system is a braking
mechanism that uses brake fluid to transmit
force into the system.
• The fluid transfers pressure from the control
mechanism to the braking mechanism.
• Hydraulic braking systems are widely used in
low-speed four-wheelers such as the Tata Ace.

 2.Construction of Hydraulic Braking System:

• The construction of hydraulic braking systems involves the following part

arrangement.
• Brake pedal or level, a wreath, also known as an actuating rod, a master cylinder
assembly is carrying a piston assembly.
• It is composed of one or two pistons, a return spring, a series of gasket or O rings,
and a fluid reservoir.
• A thermally conductive brake is a set of pads and rotors, also known as a brake
disc or drum attached to an axle. A glycol-ether-based brake fluid filled the
system to force the four wheels. However, other liquids may also be employed.
Suddenly, manufacturers start designing passenger vehicles with drum brakes on
four wheels.

 3. Working Of Hydraulic Braking System

• The work of the hydraulic braking system is very simple. To execute the brakes, we have two
types of components: a disc brake and a drum brake. The initial work is the same for both types,
but the execution technique is different. Disc brakes are externally applied brakes through the
brake calipers and discs, while drum brakes are applied internally through brake shoes and
brake drums.
• Drum Hydraulic Brake
• This movement of the pistons inside the master cylinders causes compression of the brake fluid
inside the master cylinder, which in turn converts mechanical energy to hydraulic pressure.
Thises highly compressed brake fluid from the master cylinders moves inside the brake, and this
hydraulic pressure transfers from the master cylinder to the brake drum.
• Disc Hydraulic Brakes
• This high-pressure brake fluid causes motion in the piston of the caliper cylinder, which in turn
causes the speed of the brake pads attached to the piston inside the caliper. Due to this movement
of the brake pads, there is the clamping of the rotating disc rotor, and due to this frictionless
contact between the brake pads and the rotating disc rotor, the kinetic energy of the vehicles are
converted into heat energy, which in turn would be stopped, or de is. Accelerate the vehicle.
4. Application of Hydraulic Braking System:

• Drum type hydraulic brakes – They are used in some low-speed four-wheel
vehicles such as Tata Ace.
• C Type Hydraulic Brakes – They are used in almost all cars like Maruti Suzuki
Swift, Hyundai i20, etc., & also in bikes like Bajaj Pulsar 180, KTM Duke 390,
etc.
• Single-acting hydraulic brake – Pulsar 180 front brakes are of single-acting
type.
