Subject field(s)
  • Braking Devices (Mechanical Components)
  • Braking Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
DEF

A hydraulic brake actuator mounted inside the brake drum and containing one piston, or two opposing pistons, cup seals, and a spring to hold the cup seals against the piston face.

CONT

As the pedal is depressed, it moves a piston within the master cylinder, forcing hydraulic fluid throughout the system and into cylinders at each wheel. Here, it causes the wheel cylinder pistons to move which, in turn, forces the brake shoes against the brake drums to retard their movement.

OBS

wheel cylinder: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

DEF

A valve which controls pressure, volume, or flow direction in a fluid transmission system.

CONT

Pneumatic systems are often compared to hydraulic systems, but such comparisons can only hold true in general terms.... Control valves are... a necessary part of a typical pneumatic system.... The control valve consists of a lever with two lobes. [In the off position], a spring holds the left poppet closed so that compressed air entering the pressure port cannot flow to the brakes. [In the on position], one lobe of the lever holds the left poppet open and a spring closes the right poppet. Compressed air now flows around the opened left poppet, through a drilled passage, and into a chamber below the right poppet. Since the right poppet is closed, the high-pressure air flows out of the brake port and into the brake line to apply the brakes. To release the brakes, the control valve is returned to the off position.

The B-747 has four hydraulic systems. Systems 4, 1 and 2 are used for providing pressure to the brake system. Each system is pressurized by an engine driven pump(EDP) and an air driven pump(ADP) which move due to the air circulating in the pneumatic system. Therefore, when the APU is working and providing pressurized air to the pneumatic systems, ADP's may provide pressure to the hydraulic systems. ADP number 1 is used to provide hydraulic pressure to the body landing gear steering function, to assist steering during pushback turns.

The main-wheel brakes are controlled by two systems, designated "normal" and "alternate". Both systems are mechanically selected and hydraulically operated. Normal braking is selected by depressing toe brakes on either the pilot or co-pilot pedals. The normal brake system is supplied by hydraulic system N° 1 and contains an electrically controlled antiskid system. Alternate braking is selected by the captain through use of two hand-operated controls on the left side panel. The alternate brake system is supplied by hydraulic system N° 2 and does not have an antiskid capability.

Le freinage des roues du train principal est commandé par deux circuits, l'un dit «normal» et l'autre «auxiliaire», tous deux sélectionnés mécaniquement et actionnés hydrauliquement. On utilise le freinage normal en exerçant une pression maximale continue sur les pédales du pilote ou du copilote. Le circuit de freinage normal est alimenté par le circuit hydraulique n° 1 et il comporte un système d'antidérapage à commande électrique. Le freinage auxiliaire est sélectionné par le commandant de bord au moyen de deux commandes manuelles se trouvant sur le panneau gauche. Le circuit de freinage auxiliaire est alimenté par le circuit hydraulique n° 2 et il ne comporte pas de système d'antidérapage.
