System Operation

The master cylinder converts mechanical force into hydraulic pressure. The pressure balance control system regulates the hydraulic pressure. Brake pipes and flexible hoses form the hydraulic brake wheel circuits and deliver the hydraulic pressure to the wheel apply components. The wheel apply components convert the hydraulic pressure into mechanical force which presses linings against rotating brake system components.
