Chapter 29 Hydraulic Brakes and Air-Over-Hydraulic Brake Systems Objectives (1 of 2) Describe the principles of operation of a hydraulic brake system. Identify the major components in a truck hydraulic brake system. Explain the operation of a hydraulic brake system. Describe the operation of drum and brakes in a hydraulic braking system. List the major components of a master cylinder. Objectives (2 of 2) Describe the use and operation of wheel cylinders and calipers. Identify the hydraulic valves and controls used in hydraulic brake systems. Explain the operation of a hydraulic power booster. List the major components of an air-over-hydraulic braking system. Outline some typical maintenance and service procedures performed on hydraulic and air-over-hydraulic brake systems. Describe the operation of a typical hydraulic ABS system. Force and Movement Force Increases—Movement Decreases Shop Talk Hygroscopic brake fluid can absorb airborne moisture rapidly. If DOT 3 and 4 brake fluids are left uncovered in a container, they can be ruined in as little as one hour.

Non-servo In non-servo drum brakes, each shoe is separately anchored at its heel end. Actuating force is applied to the opposite end, the toe. When the brakes are applied with the vehicle in forward motion, the forward or leading shoe is energized. The trailing shoe receives no energization unless the brakes are a
