2. Brake bleeding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_bleeding

   After replacement of the master cylinder, the master cylinder is usually "bench bled" before installation. Typically by securing it on the bench, filling it with fluid, connecting fittings and hoses to route fluid from the outlet ports on the master cylinder back to its reservoir, and repeatedly depressing the master cylinder plunger until ...

4. 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 ...

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. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   The driver's brake pedal simply controls a valve to bleed pressure into the brake units at the wheels, rather than actually creating the pressure in a master cylinder by depressing a piston. This form of brake is analogous to an air brake system but with hydraulic fluid as the working medium rather than air. However, on an air brake air is ...

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.
