Master cylinder - How it works! (Animation)

Master cylinders are an important component of many vehicles. They convert the applied force of the foot or fingers into hydraulic pressure. A master cylinder is almost always a tandem master cylinder, which we would like to describe in this animation.

Contents
1) Master cylinder with compensating ports
2) Reservoir tank
3) Compensating ports and breather ports
4) Pistons and cups
5) Brake pads against brake disc
6) Split brake systems
7) Portless master cylinder with valves

Important to mention… When the piston is in the rest position, the brake fluid will be balanced via The compensation hole. This compensation hole is very small, clean this compensation hole with a very thin wire of copper, if it would clog… you are guaranteed a dragging caliper, this has already happened to me twice!!! with the Honda CBX 1000. Stay Safe.

excellent animation, clear description and narration very helpful

amazing video, you explained in 3 mins what my teacher couldn’t explain in 3 days

[mcdevious]

Good presentation, Thomas. Could you add how the reservoir introduces fluid into the piston system? Thanks.

[AncapistanVan]

Thank you. Would be interesting to see an animation of what's happening during internal leakage of the master cylinder.

This is an amazing channel. Thank you so much for your efforts with these videos.

Best video animation ever, you always have the best.

[AnsariBaksh]

One of the best explanations I have come across. Thank you for sharing. :-)

Would love to see more hydraulic cylinder videos. Great job!

[jas]

great video will help with my studies for auto brake test

[karthikeyagowda]

a very good animation video with neat explanation!!!thank you.

[andrewjones]

subscribed these videos are very well put together.

[Liveables]

100% Grate animations and 50% explanation too much difficult mechanical terms

What happens during hard breaking with ABS

[Zapo]

You last comment on the abs system confused me a bit?

Does abs cars not run a split system like front / rear?

amazing and useful work...what's the program have you used to do this animation video??

[TheCockyPerry]

ok so if you brake and there is a leak, it's made so you will still be able ton brake..

But.. Is it possible to have an oil leak in your brake lines without losing pedal pressure?

[grigorescripnic]

Very interesting video, i have a ram 3500 2022, and every 2000 miles im loosing one or both rotors for the rear, the way this video shows its split front from rear so my guess is that the master brake cilynder has an internal leak and it's loosing vacum, and the rear rottors are dragging and overheating then vibration starts. Corect me if im wrong,
Thx

How does the brake fluid gets pumped around. Is there a pump for the brakes?
The reason why I'm asking is because when the engine is turned off the brakes become harder to stop.
