TANDEM (DUAL) MASTER CYLINDER

In order to avoid complete brake system failure, a tandem-type master cylinder is used. Due to the two independent brake circuits being
controlled through the use of one brake master cylinder, a hydraulic failure in one brake line will result in the loss of one brake circuit only. This
will still provide an effective but much reduced brake performance. When this occurs, it is hoped that the driver remembers that the handbrake
is independent, because with this the driver is able to bring the vehicle to rest in reasonable time.

CONSTRUCTION
In general, the tandem cylinder may be considered as two single cylinders mounted end to end as shown above. The cylinder contains two
pistons, one directly connected to the pedal and the other operated by fluid pressure. Each piston, which is fitted with seals to prevent fluid
leakage, controls a separate line to either the front or rear brakes. At each of the two outlet points, a check valve is fitted. One return spring is
positioned between the pistons and a stronger return spring, acting on the independent piston, ensures that the pistons are forced back to their
stops. Fluid is supplied through ports similar to the solo cylinder and the reservoir is divided into two parts to prevent a total fluid loss when one
line fails.

OPERATION
Under normal conditions, the movement of the primary piston causes an increase in the fluid pressure in the chamber controlled by the primary
piston. Pressure from this chamber is transmitted to the front brake line and to the secondary piston, which, being free to move, will pressurize
the rear brake line to the same extent as the front line. Assuming a failure occurs in the front line, the movement of the primary piston will
discharge fluid at the fracture and will allow the two pistons to contact. Although this stage has taken up some of the pedal travel, the remainder
of the movement is available to operate the rear brakes. Repeated applications of the brake will eventually discharge all of the fluid from the
portion of the reservoir that supplies the faulty section. Failure in the rear line causes the initial pressure to move the secondary piston to the limit
of its travel. Once this point is reached, the front brake can be operated successfully. An additional rubber seal fitted to the secondary piston
prevents fluid from leaking from the serviceable section to the fractured line.
