DEMONSTRATION

OF
Braking SYSTEM
OF AN ENGINE
 OBJECTIVE

To explain the working principle of the braking

system,
To describe the effect of force transferred to the
wheel from the pedal,
How is the force multiplied so that we stop heavy
masses such as a car?
 THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
Automotive Brakes:
The breaking system of an automobile has two types:
The service brakes, operated by a foot pedal, which slow or stop
the vehicle. These are hydraulically operated.
The parking brakes, operated by a foot pedal or hand lever,
which hold the vehicle stationary when applied. These are
mechanically operated and are also known as Emergency Brakes.

Most automotive services brakes are hydraulic brakes. They

operate hydraulically by pressure applied through a liquid. All
these braking systems depend on friction between moving parts
and stationary parts for their stopping force.
 TYPES OF LUBRICATION SYSTEM:

Hydraulic System Configuration:

There are two types of Hydraulic System configuration:
Diagonal Split configuration used by front wheel drive
cars,
Front/Rear hydraulic split used by rear wheels drive
cars.
 WORKING PRINCIPLE
PASCALS LAW

states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined

incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that
the same change occurs everywhere.
 COMPONENTS OF A BRAKING SYSTEM:

The Major components of any braking system are

as under:
Brake Pedal
Power Brake Booster
Master Cylinder
Hydraulic Lines
Disc Brake
Drum Brake
 COMPONENTS OF LUBRICATING
SYSTEM
Power Brake Booster:
Most vehicles have power-assisted braking, or power
brakes or power brake booster. Only a relatively light pedal
force is required to slow or stop the vehicle. The assist is
provided by either a hydraulic brake booster or a vacuum
brake booster. In automotive engineering, the master
cylinder is a control device that converts non-hydraulic
pressure (commonly from a drivers foot) into hydraulic
pressure.
 Hydraulic Lines are basically tubes or pipes through which
brake fluid, typically ethylene glycol flows. This fluid is a
source which transfers pressure from controlling
mechanism to braking mechanism.
 DRUM BRAKE
The drum brake has the following components:
Wheel cylinder,
Return spring,
Self-adjustment system,
Brake shoes,
Brake drum.
 DRUM BRAKE

Wheel Cylinder:

When the driver depresses the brake pedal, brake fluid flows from a pressure chamber in
the master cylinder through brake lines to the wheel cylinder. It converts the hydraulic
pressure from the master cylinder into mechanical movement. The wheel cylinder has
two pistons, with seals or cups, and a spring in between. As the pressure increases, the
pistons overcome the brake-shoe return springs and push the shoes outward into contact
with the drum. The braking transfers more of the vehicle weight o the front wheels.
 DISC BRAKE:

The disc brake has a metal disc or rotor instead of a drum. It uses a pair of flat, lined
shoes or pads that are forced against the rotating disc to produce braking. The pads are
held in caliper that straddles the disc. The caliper has one or more pistons, with a seal
and dust boot for each.
