This document summarizes the components and operation of a hydraulic braking system, including an anti-lock braking system (ABS). It describes the main components of a hydraulic brake system such as the master cylinder, brake lines, wheel cylinder, and how they work together. It then provides details on additional components like the wheel disc, caliper, and the manufacturing processes for the master cylinder. Finally, it explains how ABS uses wheel speed sensors and computer control to prevent wheel lockup during hard braking, allowing the driver to steer while braking heavily.
17. CALIPER
Aluminium and Chrome coated steel.
Consist of Pistons, Cylinders and Pad shoes.
Pad shoes of rubbers or high wearing resistance
material.
Process involved
Casting or Forging
Machining
Finishing
22. ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
ABS, (Anti-Lock brake system)
ABS allows the driver to maintain steering control of
the vehicle while in hard braking situations .
Computerized ABS is designed to keep the wheels
from locking as the brakes are applied.
A locked wheel provides very little or no directional
control

26. ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
The best braking action occurs at between 10-20%.
If vehicle speed and wheel speed is the same wheel
slippage is 0%
A lock-up wheel will have a wheel slippage of 100%
