Brake Pressure Accumulator 857612061C

IMAGE IS EXAMPLE ONLY, BRAND MAY VARY

The brake pressure accumulator consists of a hydraulic cylinder filled with pressurized gas and brake fluid. When the brake pedal is pressed, the accumulator releases the stored hydraulic pressure, which is then transmitted to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders. This increases the braking force, allowing the car to slow down or come to a complete stop effectively and safely. The accumulator also helps maintain brake pressure even when the engine is turned off or the brake pedal is released, ensuring that the brakes stay engaged until the pedal is pressed again. Overall, the brake pressure accumulator enhances the responsiveness and efficiency of the braking system, providing a dependable and secure braking experience for the driver.
