How does a disc braking system on a modern day car work step by step from when the driver pushes their foot on the brake pad? Thanks in advance
Driver pushes on the brake pedal the brake pedal is mounted on a lever that is attached to a pushrod. The pushrod moves a piston inside the master cylinder which pressurizes the brake fluid. this creates hydraulic pressure which travels down the brake lines to the calipers. The pressurized fluid causes the caliper piston topush out against the inboard brake pad. When the inboard brake pad contacts the rotor, the caliper begins to slide. This brings the outboard brake pad into contact with the rotor. There are several different types of calipers. There are also several types of valves and ABS units that fluid flows through on a modern vehicle. too much typing, check link
