 INTRODUCTION
• A hydraulic braking system in automobiles is the brake operating system
which uses fluid for their operation. It is highly efficient braking system.

• It is self-lubrication system hence no external lubrication is required.

• In this system, With less effort, we can achieve high braking force.

• The hydraulic braking system works on the principle of Pascal’s Law.

PASCAL’S LAW:- The pascal law states that “Pressure at any point in a static
fluid is equal in all directions”.
 Why We Need Hydraulic Braking System?

• As the braking of an automobile vehicle is a very crucial safety part so the

responses from the brake pedal to the final braking must be very quick
which was a failure of a mechanical type braking system and is very well
achieved by the hydraulic braking system which provides quick braking.

• The brake force generated by hydraulic braking system is very high as

compared to the mechanical braking which is a very important factor for
today’s super and hyper series of vehicles.

• Frictional wear and tear in case of mechanical braking system was very high
due to the involvement of many moving parts, which is very well reduced to
the optimum level with the introduction of the hydraulic braking system
which has very less moving parts as compared to the mechanical one.
• Brake failure chances in the case of hydraulic braking system is very less as
compared to the mechanical system due to the direct connection between the
actuator ( brake pedal or lever) and the brake disc or drum.

• Design complexity is reduced with the introduction of the hydraulic braking

system.

• Maintenance is low in hydraulic braking system as it has a simple design with

less moving parts.
 PRINCIPAL OF WORKING

 Hydraulic brakes work on the principle of Pascal's law.

 Pascal's law states that "pressure at on Incompressible fluid is

equal in all directions".
 WORKING OF HYDRAULIC
BRAKING SYSTEM
1. Brake Pedal Pressed.

2. Brake Fluid Pressurized in Master cylinder.

3. Pressurized fluid is travel through hose pipes.

4. Thus, this Pressurized fluid press Brake pad against Brake Rotor.

5. Due to Friction between Brake pad and Brake rotor action is

performed.
WORKING OF HYDRAULIC
BRAKING SYSTEM
 ADVANTAGES

• Equal braking action on all wheels.

• Increased braking force.

• Low wear rate of brake linings.

• Increased mechanical advantage.

• Better stopping power than the other Brakes

 DISADVANTAGES

• Whole braking system fails due to leakage of fluid from brake linings

• Complex construction.

• More maintenance than other system

 APPLICATION

Automotive Brake-
The Hydraulic Braking System is use in car, Jeep, Mini Truck or
in Buses
 CONCLUSION

• The Hydraulic Brake System is being more popular due to its advantages and easy
to use.

• The modern automobiles like bikes, cars, and heavy vehicles are adapting this
technology.

• The fluids used in this system can vary according to its application because the
heavy vehicles require more effort or pressure to push the brakes and stop the rotary
wheel.

• Few of its applications can be seen in mopeds nowadays.
