The key to safe movement in any vehicle is a working braking system. Its main component in vehicles is considered a spring accumulator or a brake chamber. The latter is designed to control the corresponding brake pads in systems with disc or drum brakes. In modern foreign cars, as a rule, fundamentally identical devices are used. Their main distinguishing characteristic is the effective piston area. This parameter is measured in square inches. Brake chambers are designed structurally as a membrane. They convert the energy of the compressed air directly into work that is responsible for the action of the brakes.

The usage of the diaphragm brake cylinder

Today, modern vehicles are equipped with a pneumatic braking system. It uses the power of compressed air, which is supplied from the compressor. When the driver presses the brake pedal, force is applied to the brake valve. Pressure is generated in the diaphragm brake cylinder. This brings the entire system up and running.
