BRAKE INTEGRATED HYDRAULIC ACTUATION SYSTEM MASTER CYLINDER

This paper presents the design and operation of a new stepped bore master cylinder (fast-fill) which also integrates the rear brake proportioning valves and brake failure warning device in one major assembly. This design optimizes weight, performance and package together with several unique design features. It incorporates a combination of a plastic reservoir, permanent mold aluminum body, steel pistons, and miniaturized steel proportioning valves resulting in a significant weight and cost reduction versus equivalent hydraulic actuation systems.
