Components of a Brake System
Brake Pedal: When pressed, it activates the brake system.
Brake Master Cylinder: This converts the mechanical pressure from the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure by pushing brake fluid through the brake lines.
Brake Lines: These carry the hydraulic brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brake calipers.
Brake Calipers: The calipers press the brake pads against the brake rotors, creating friction to slow the car.
Brake Pads: These are the friction material that presses against the brake rotors to slow down the vehicle.
Brake Rotors (Discs): Rotors are attached to the wheels, and the friction from the brake pads slows the rotation of the wheels.
Brake Drums: In drum brake systems (found in some older or rear brake setups), shoes press against the inside of a rotating drum to create friction and slow the car.
Brake Fluid: A hydraulic fluid that transfers pressure from the brake pedal to the brakes.
