Advantages of dual master cylinder braking system

The introduction of the dual cylinders helps in achieving greater pressure compared to that of conventional master cylinders. The pressure of braking is attained in a ratio of 60:40 for front and rear during every braking. The brake pressure can be proportionated and varied by adjusting the nuts of the clevis. The use of proportionating valve is not necessary. This setup improves the braking efficiency significantly. In case of leakage in any one of the circuits a normal tandem master cylinder fails to stop the wheels. But using the dual master cylinder has the advantage of braking the wheels even when one of the master cylinders circuit fails. The pressure ratio can be varied even by coupling mastery cylinders with different bore diameters. It has better fade resistance and reduced pulling and grabbing. The dual master cylinder can be used to achieve diagonal braking setup where the left diagonal wheels are connected to one master cylinder and the right diagonal wheels are connected to the other. The cost of the entire setup is reduced since it doesnt need components like proportionating valves etc., It increases the safety of the vehicle due to the use of a secondary cylinder.
