HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM

• Share this:

Hydraulic Brakes work in accordance with Pascal’s Law, a law of fluid dynamics established by Blaise Pascal and published in 1663. It states that “a pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.”

The hydraulic brake system allows the force applied to the brake pedal to be multiplied, creating a much higher braking force than the driver could generate unaided.
