Abstract
A master cylinder with hydraulic reaction. The master cylinder having a housing with a working chamber (12) therein in which slides a hollow main piston (3). The main piston (3) has a bore (130) for retaining a reaction piston (14) to define a reaction chamber (15). The reaction chamber (15) is connected to the working chamber (12) through a non-return valve (22) and a restriction (17). The non-return valve (22) and restriction (17) are mounted to independently move with respect to the main piston (3) to avoid a defect with a rise in pressure in the reaction chamber (15) when brake fluid retained in the working chamber has an excessively high viscosity.
Claims4
A master cylinder including a hydraulic reaction comprising:
- a housing having a working chamber therein which is filled with a brake fluid;
- a main piston which slides along a first axis in said working chamber along a first axis, said main piston being pierced with an axial bore;
- a reaction piston connected to said main piston for closing said axial bore to define a reaction chamber, said reaction piston moving along said first axis to delimit within said bore to delimit said reaction chamber, said reaction chamber being connected to said working chamber by way of a non-return valve and a restriction, said non-return valve and restriction imposing upon a flow of fluid from said working chamber toward said reaction chamber and upon a flow of fluid from said reaction chamber toward said working chamber to define a first pressure drop and a second pressure drop, said first pressure drop being higher than said second pressure drop, characterised in that said non-return valve and said restriction are mounted to move independently of said main piston.
