2. Master cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_cylinder

   The most common vehicle uses of master cylinders are in brake and clutch systems.. In brake systems, the operated devices are cylinders inside brake calipers and/or drum brakes; these cylinders may be called wheel cylinders or slave cylinders, and they push the brake pads towards a surface that rotates with the wheel (this surface is typically either a drum or a disc, a.k.a. a rotor) until the ...

3. Sensotronic Brake Control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensotronic_Brake_Control

   Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) is an electro-hydraulic brake system developed by Daimler and Bosch. In this system, the wheel brake cylinders of a vehicle are operated through a servomechanism, offering precise and responsive braking. The SBC system was first introduced on the R230 SL-class, which was released in Europe in October 2001. [1]

4. Power brakes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_brakes

   A power braking system consists of several distinct components, including the vacuum booster, master cylinder, brake fluid reservoir and lines, and calipers (or drums). Power brakes have been around in some form since the 1920s, and since the late 20th century all cars sold in North America have been equipped with power brakes.

5. Brake fluid pressure sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid_pressure_sensor

   The fault could be lack of hydraulic fluid, low brake fluid in the reservoir, a broken hydraulic line or a bad master brake cylinder. The sensor is used to detect pressure differentials in the hydraulic system. If the car alerts a fault in the hydraulic system and the system checks out, the sensor itself may have failed. [2]

6. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   The spinning disc brake will be adjacent to the piston with the larger cross-section. Suppose the diameter of the master cylinder is half the diameter of the slave cylinder, so the master cylinder has a cross-section four times smaller. Now, if the piston in the master cylinder is pushed down 40 mm, the slave piston will move 10 mm.

7. Cadillac - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac

   The dual-reservoir brake master cylinder, with separate front and rear hydraulic systems, was introduced in 1962, six years ahead of the federal requirement. The first fully automatic heater– air conditioning system also appeared, as did the three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission; it would become the GM standard model for several ...
