Mechanical brake pump for Renault R19 R19

Mechanical Brake Pump: Components, Function, and Maintenance

The mechanical brake pump is an essential component of a car's braking system, responsible for generating hydraulic pressure to activate the brakes, ensuring safe and efficient braking performance.

Key Components

Key parts include:

• Pump Body: Houses the piston and seals.
• Piston: Applies pressure to brake fluid when the brake pedal is depressed.
• Seals: Ensure proper sealing and prevent fluid leaks.
• Brake Fluid Reservoir: Stores brake fluid for the system.

Function

When the brake pedal is pressed, the piston within the pump body applies pressure to brake fluid, transmitting it through the brake lines to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders, initiating braking by clamping brake pads or shoes onto brake rotors or drums.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance and inspection are crucial. Signs of a malfunctioning pump include spongy brake pedal feel, loss of brake pressure, or fluid leaks. Regular fluid flushes and seal inspection help prevent costly repairs and ensure continued braking performance.
