BRAKING SYSTEM OF HONDA CIVIC EG 3 BY:
MOHD FAHMI BIN YAHAYA KHAIRUL NIZAR BIN MOHD ZAINI
BRAKE BOOSTER Type: Vacuum Brake Booster Single Diaphragm In a nutshell, the Honda brake booster acts as an amplifier of sorts, but it works off engine vacuum rather than electricity. When you step on the brake pedal you actually press on your Honda brake booster. The Honda brake booster then amplifies the pedal pressure and exerts far more pressure on the brake master cylinder, stopping your car. MASTER CYLINDER Type: Tandem Master Cylinder It has two pistons: primary and secondary, which are criss-cross connected with the callipers so that the fluid pressure works separately on each system (front right wheel & rear left wheel, and front left wheel & rear right wheel). A reed switch for detecting the brake fluid volume is also provided in the cap of the reservoir tank.
FRONT
BRAKE
Type: Floating Calliper Disc Brake It has one or two pistons on only one side. The calliper slides as the pistons moves out of its bore. Later design use this type which has fewer parts and easy to repair. REAR BRAKE Type: Leading-trailing Drum Brake It is a non-servo brake with an anchor at the bottom end of each shoe. A leading (front) shoe is self energized, while the trailing shoe is not. So the front shoe is more wears than rear. Leading-trailing brakes are used because there are less effective in stopping than servo type brakes. Front wheel drive car with spilt diagonal hydraulic system and light duty truck without ABS is using this type for rear brake because it can minimize the tendency for relatively underweighted rear wheel to lockup.
PARKING BRAKE Type: Cable Parking brake or emergency brake is attached at rear brake. It’s usually attached with cable to rear drum brake.
