It is a terete-shaped component and it is one of the most significant components of a brake that has an oil tank and a piston for producing hydraulic pressure.
The oil rank is usually made out of plastic. Also, the main cylinder of the brake should seal with high consistency. That’s why they are made of cast iron or aluminum alloy. The high quality of this cylinder preserves the function of the brake system.
The main cylinder body
The main cylinder has holes in its tank that are divided by the primary and secondary systems. In front of the first piston of the man cylinder, there is a plastic piston that waters the primary pivot. Another piston is installed at the back of the first piston to prevent the leakage of the brake oil.
In front of the secondary piston, there is another piston that waters the secondary pivot, and at the back, there is a piston that wasters the secondary pivot in relation to the primary one. The primary piston is attached to the pedal by a rod.
How does the main system of a brake work?
The main cylinder functions as soon as the pedal is pushed. The first pedal pushes the piston by this cylinder and the brake oil is transferred through the brake lines to the cylinder of the wheel cylinders. Then to guide the hydraulic power to the caliper and the back of the brake pads to have the necessary friction for stopping the vehicle.
This process turns the mechanical energy to the hydraulic energy, and once again to the mechanical energy. It might seem confusing at first, but it’s an excellent way to lessen the driver’s energy against the brake pedal.
