Wilwood Engineering - Caliper Technical Tips   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) If the master cylinder piston is not allowed to fully retract when the brake pedal is not applied, the primary inside seal will not return past the small pressure relief hole (visible within the master cylinder reservoir on some master cylinders). Pedal ratio, or mechanical leverage is the ratio calculated from the length from the pivot point of the pedal to the center of the foot pedal (A), divided by the length from the pivot point to the master cylinder pushrod (B). With a 1” master cylinder stroke, a 100 pound push on the pedal, and the pedal having a 4:1 ratio, the force is 4 x 100 = 400 pounds, and the stroke is 4 x 1 = 4 inches. wilwood.com /Products/005-PedalAssemblies/pages/techtip/pedaltech.asp   (916 words)

How To Bench Bleed A Master Cylinder If the master cylinder is not bled, it will take you at least twice as long to bleed the system, and then there's no guarantee that you'll have removed all the air from the system. Master cylinders MUST be bench bled outside the vehicle and without any other components attached. Remove the master cylinder top and fill with fresh brake fluid to the appropriate level as indicated in the master cylinder-- generally about 1/2 to 1 inch from the top of the reservoir. superchevy.com /technical/chassis/brakes/0509sc_bench   (570 words)

Classic Chevy, Chevrolet, GMC, Ford technical articles If the master cylinder is not bled, it will take you at least twice as long to bleed the system and then there is no guarantee that you have removed all the air from the system. This is so that you can hook up the master cylinder as soon as possible after it has been bench bled to keep gravity from leeching fluid from the master cylinder during the installation of the other components. Now test the master cylinder by "blocking off" the master cylinder ports using the correct size inverted flare plugs or bolts with the appropriate thread size for the ports on your master cylinder. www.classicperform.com /TechBook/BrakeBleed.htm   (2573 words)

brake, in technology: Braking Systems The fundamental principle involved is the use of compressed air acting through a piston in a cylinder to set block brakes on the wheels. When the brake pedal of an automobile is depressed, a force is applied to a piston in a master cylinder. The vacuum brake system, or vacuum brake, depends upon the use of a vacuum to force a piston in a cylinder to hold a brake shoe off a drum; when the vacuum is destroyed, the shoe is released and presses on the drum. www.factmonster.com /ce6/sci/A0920723.html   (356 words)
