Car disc brake system, illustration. In a car disc brake system, the driver's foot pushes down on the brake pedal, which pushes a piston (left). This piston exerts pressure on hydraulic brake fluid (green). The increased pressure in the fluid is transmitted to pistons on either side of a large disc on the axle (right). The pressure causes the pistons to squeeze the disc, creating friction that slows the car. The same pressure is applied to the brakes on all four wheels. | |
