BRAKE DISC TYPE
Usually used on the front wheels on most cars and all four
wheels for some
cars.
A disk is mounted to the wheel
hub and rotating
with tires and wheels.
When the driver applying
brakes, hydraulic pressure
from the master cylinder
is used to push the
friction pad (pad) against the rotor motion and then stop it.

Construction Disk @ Dishes
Disc brake has
a smooth surface on both sides of the surface.
Usually made of cast
iron.
There are also made of
solid and cooling fins between the brake surface
BRAKE PAD
Brake pads are used to grip the disc
while the vehicle is moving.
Brake pads are usually made of a mixture of asbestos, soft
metal and resin.

Advantages and disadvantages of disk brakes
Advantages
No adjustments need
to be made on the installation
disk brakes
Problem 'brake fade'
can be reduced
Glad to make
inspections
Disadvantages
Requiring a high pressure
if the unit servo
system is damaged
HAND BRAKE
Also called the
emergency brake or "parking
brake".
It is used when the
vehicle has been stopped or abandoned
vehicles in the car
park.
It aims to ensure that the
vehicle will not move and are
in a safe condition.
Apart from the handbrake
serves as help stop
the vehicle if hydraulic system
not functioning. Should not be practiced at all time,
just in emergencies only.
 |
Hand Brake |
Hand brake consists of three main units:
-
1. Unit ratchet
2. The flexible steel
cable
3. Unit brake
shoe
Hand brake operation
Mechanically
operated hand brake.
When the lever arm is pulled, the cable will pull brake drum shoe.
This causes the brake shoe rub and push out the drum surface.
This will cause the wheels are not moving anymore.
BRAKE BOOSTER (SERVO)
Brake booster (servo)
is used as an aid to the brake master hydraulic cylinder. Assemble together
/ master pump
and connected directly to the brake pedal.
Is as a tool for the booster
to the brake system provides greater efficiency.
Servo braking is used to enhance
the results of the minimal brake pedal pressure.
The advantages of this
type are drivers no need to press
the brake pedal firmly to generate high
pressure in the brake system .
Operates with the assistance of the power vacuum from the engine.
There are 3 types of brake booster system
(servo) that are commonly used are:
1. Vacuum type
Using a vacuum obtained from the intake manifold or using a
vacuum pump and connected to the brake booster.
For vehicles with diesel engines usually have a pump type electrically
or mechanically to get the vacuum. Electrical vacuum
pump is driven by electric motor.
There is a switch
in the brake booster
which switches the signal if the level of vacuum pumps is low.
If damaged, will show the signal
(glowing lights on the dashboard)
While the vacuum that uses a
mechanical type pump controlled
by using the belt.
2. Types of wind pressure
Using wind derived from
' air compressor'. Usually used in heavy vehicles, trucks,
buses and other
3. Hydraulic Type
Usually on small vehicles
such as small lorries .The energy usually derived
from hydraulic power
steering pump.
Another way hydraulic energy is obtained by using
an electric motor hydraulic pump which is
typical for the brake booster.
Principle Of Brake Booster
The diaphragm is placed around the housing, diaphragm dividing
the housing into two parts.
When the brake pedal
is released vacuum will exist in both parts of the casing. When the brake pedal
is pressed, the air valve will open and allow air around the entrance
to the rear of the
diaphragm, vacuum control valve closed with
the vacuum can
be maintained in the housing.
Incoming air will push the diaphragm forward.
Thus there is a power
forward movement and subsequent decline to
the master cylinder piston.
Little difference was enough to create
mobility.

Brake Servo Diaphgram |
Construction Vacuum Brake Booster(Single Booster)
It consists of two parts
a shell is tied together on the outside.
Part sheel front
contains vacuum check
valve. Vacuum will
go into the brake booster (power head) through
this valve. These valves are intended to keep the vacuum
in the brake booster.
In the event of an interruption to
the supply source of vacuum, for example if a
stationary engine braking can still work in good
conditions (light brake pedal)
Brake booster can
still brake assist braking system 2 to 3
times until the vacuum therein has been exhausted.
Plate mounted diaphragm
with valve rod
and valve control.
Hydraulic push rod
and the reaction disc
installed separately. Hydraulic push rod
is used to push the piston in the master
primary pump
Operating Vacuum Brake Booster (Single Diaphragm)
Vacuum is supplied from the front sheel
through check valve.
When the brake pedal
is released, the position of the control valve will prevent
air from entering the backside sheel.
Return spring sheel
cause diphragm are
in the back
When the brake pedal
is pressed, the valve rod to move forward. This
causes the vacuum valve cover from the back
entrance to sheel.
At the same time control valve allows air to go
into a shell around the back. Incoming air pressure
will push forward
diaphragm while the
vacuum is in
front sheel will
help attract diaphragm forward too.
Diaphragm
movement forward will
move the push rod
to push the piston in the master cylinder.
With the brakes
will work.

Brake Servo Mechanism |
ABS – (Anti-locking Brake System)
It uses a sensor mounted
on each wheel. In
this system, sensors
on each wheel will send a signal to the ECU
about the speed of rotation of the wheel.
 |
ABS System |
When the brake is
pressed, the ECU will detect if there is
a slow wheel too
fast and probably
locked.
ECU will issue a signal
to move the valve to reduce pressure soleniod
hydraulic brake on the wheel.
This can stabilize
the movement of the wheels from slipping during
brake suddenly.

METHODS BLEEDING BRAKE
* Hydraulic brake
system should be drained if a pipe connection is disconnected or bubble exist.
1. Remove the brake fluid reservoir cap
and fill with the
recommended brake fluid up to the
MAX.
2. Start to bleed on the cylinder wheel farthest from the master pump and
followed to the closest one.
3. Clean the bleeder screw on the wheel cylinder / caliper brakes of all impurities.
Enter vinyl pipe on bleeder screw and the other end of the container bottle filled with brake fluid.
4. Get the help of a friend to press the brake pedal two or three times. With
the brake pedal fully depressed, loosen the bleeder screw to release the air in
the system.
5. Tighten the bleeder screw immediately before the brake pedal has been
released
6. Let the brake pedal return to the original position with bleeder screws are
closed.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 5 until no more air bubbles in the vinyl pipe.
8. Press and release the brake pedal several times and check for leaks at all connections.
