The hydraulic brake is an arrangement of braking mechanism which uses brake fluid, to transfer pressure from the controlling mechanism to the braking mechanism.
With our model, students can appreciate the working of a hydraulic break unit; such that when the brake pedal is pressed, a pushrod exerts force on the piston in the master cylinder, causing fluid from the reservoir to flow into a pressure chamber, resulting in an increase in the pressure of the entire hydraulic system, thus forcing fluid through the hydraulic lines toward one or more calipers where it acts upon the caliper pistons that then apply force to the brake pads, pushing them against the spinning rotor, and the friction between the pads and the rotor causes a braking torque to be generated, thus slowing the vehicle.
