About this template

Following is an internal block diagram for the braking system. Through visual representation with the help of a diagram, it illustrates how different components interact with one another and their roles inside the braking system.

Here inside the block diagram, various components include the pedal, brake master cylinder, brake calipers, and brake rotors attacked with the wheel.

Here the brake pedal is what the driver presses on when applying the brake. The brake master cylinder is responsible for converting the force applied by the driver to hydraulic pressure. The brake calipers are responsible for squeezing the brake pads against the brake rotors.

The brake rotors are responsible for stopping the vehicle. Here the wheel represents the wheel attached to the car. All of these components work and interact with one another to stop the wheel, eventually stopping the vehicle from moving.

Here inside this internal block diagram, first the driver presses the pedal which adds pressure to the brake master cylinder. The cylinder converts this force into hydraulic pressure. The pressure is applied to the brake calipers which create friction. The friction is then used by the brake rotors to stop the vehicle from moving.

Benefits of the template

Through an internal block diagram, one can get a clear understanding of how different components interact with one another inside the braking system. You can also get a clear visualization of the order of the execution of the respective components.

The diagram can be used by various stakeholders to better understand how the process of braking works inside the vehicle system. Whether you’re a student, a teacher, a developer, or an engineer through this internal block diagram one can also understand the different components as well as their respective roles within the braking system.

The diagram also comes in handy when trying to locate an issue as well as carrying a diagnosis inside the braking system when faced with a problem.

FAQs about this Template

  • An internal block diagram is used to visualize the internal structure of a block. It helps understand the various properties of blocks and the connection among the properties. The diagram can be used by software developers to help them understand the data flow among the components.

  • Brakes are usually present on the front wheel of a car. The driver presses on the pedal. The brake master cylinder is responsible for converting the force applied by the driver to hydraulic pressure. The brake calipers are responsible for squeezing the brake pads against the brake rotors.

  • Braking is important to stop a vehicle from colliding with any unnecessary objects. It is the most important safety feature as it enables you to slow down in a split second reducing the chance of an incident or accident.

  • The three main brake systems found in cars include frictional, electromagnetic, and hydraulic. These systems you will find in almost every modern car.
