Hydraulic System for Motor Cycle – A Review

Abstract

In Hydraulic Power System, pressurized fluid is supplied by a pump driven by an electrical motor. Hydraulic Brake is an association of braking mechanism which makes use of brake fluid, commonly containing ethylene glycol, to switch pressure from the controlling unit, which is usually close to the operator of the vehicle, to the rear brake mechanism, which is typically at or near the wheel of the vehicle. This paper presents the design of the hydraulic system for motorcycle and analyzes the utility of different brake circuits used.
