   Old brake fluid container Brake fluid reservoir in a Škoda Fabia I A tell-tale symbol indicating low brake fluid level. Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic brake and hydraulic clutch applications in automobiles, motorcycles, light trucks, and some bicycles. It is used to transfer force into pressure, and to amplify ...

3. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   The hydraulic braking system is designed as a closed system: unless there is a leak in the system, none of the brake fluid enters or leaves it, nor does the fluid get consumed through use. Leakage may happen, however, from cracks in the O-rings or from a puncture in the brake line.

   Magura hydraulic rim brake. Hydraulic rim brakes are one of the least common types of brakes. They are mounted either on the same pivot points used for cantilever and linear-pull brakes or they can be mounted on four-bolt brake mounts found on many trials frames. They were available on some high-end mountain bikes in the early 1990s, but ...

   The purpose is to reduce failures in hydraulic braking systems of motor vehicles which may occur because of the manufacture or use of improper or contaminated fluid. The standard applies to all fluid use of passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, buses, trailers and motorcycles equipped with a hydraulic brake system. [1]

   Disadvantages include: Implementations to date are heavier than those of bicycle chain and sprocket designs.; Though some of the components in a sealed hydraulic system maintain constant efficiency upwards of 95% in all conditions (see hydristor), the overall losses usually result in an efficiency of about 75% (power loss of about 25%, see hydraulic machinery).
