STUDY & FABRICATION OF HYDRAULIC BREAKING SYSTEM

Abstract

Hydraulic brakes work on the principle of Pascal Law. According to this whenever pressure is applied on a fluid it travels a uniformly in all the directions. Therefore, when we apply a force on a small piston pressure gets created which is transmitted through the fluid to larger piston and vehicle stopped. This project is to design and develop a low cost hydraulic braking system model which is used to know the working of its. The purpose of the project was to demonstrate the flow of energy from mechanical to fluid back to mechanical the goal of the project was to create a working classroom model that will last up to 10 year the mechanical force comes from the operates and squeezing the brake lever which compress hydraulic fluid that hydraulic fluid in the line becomes pressurized and the pushes on a piston. That squeezes the brake pads on to brake disc. The model will be able to show different braking scenarios by applying differing amounts of force to the handle. For example the motor can be run with minimal braking and the wheel will spin at a slower speed than without braking. Another extreme is stopping the wheel instantaneously by applying rapid firm pressure to the brake handle.
