2. Brake bleeding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_bleeding

   Different vehicles have different recommended bleeding patterns. Brakes are usually bled starting with the wheel that is furthest from the master cylinder and working towards the wheel closest to the master cylinder. This prevents bubbles in the system being forced into pipes towards wheels that have already been bled.

3. 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 ...

4. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   In a four-wheel car, the FMVSS Standard 105, 1976; [7] requires that the master cylinder be divided internally into two sections, each of which pressurizes a separate hydraulic circuit. Each section supplies pressure to one circuit. The combination is known as a tandem master cylinder.

5. Power brakes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_brakes

   The master cylinder is located behind the driver’s side dashboard mounted on the vacuum booster. The pressure inside of the master cylinder is created by a primary and secondary piston. These are pushed by the output rod of the vacuum booster to compress fluid within its primary and secondary chambers (hydraulic pressure). The hydraulic ...

6. Sensotronic Brake Control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensotronic_Brake_Control

   Typically, the master brake cylinder is disconnected from the brake circuit, with a pedal travel simulator providing normal pedal feedback. In situations where the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is activated, the high-pressure reservoir quickly delivers the required brake pressure to specific wheels with precision.

7. Brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

   When the brake pedal of a modern vehicle with hydraulic brakes is pushed against the master cylinder, ultimately a piston pushes the brake pad against the brake disc which slows the wheel down. On the brake drum it is similar as the cylinder pushes the brake shoes against the drum which also slows the wheel down.
