Rodless Cylinder is a cylindrical metal part that guides the piston to perform linear reciprocating motion in the cylinder. Air in the engine cylinder converts heat energy into mechanical energy by expansion; gas in the compressor cylinder is compressed by the piston to increase pressure. The shell of turbines, rotary piston engines, etc. is usually also called "cylinder". Application areas of cylinders: printing (tension control), semiconductors (spot welding machines, chip grinding), automatic control, robots, etc.
The working principle of the rodless cylinder brake system is:
1. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder will generate pressure.
2. The pressure in the master brake cylinder will be transmitted to the rodless cylinders of each wheel through the brake pipeline.
3. After the rodless cylinder is pressurized, the piston will push the brake cylinder body and the rodless cylinder outward, so that the rodless cylinder clamps the brake disc.
4. After the rodless cylinder clamps the brake disc, the wheel will slow down until it stops through friction.
5. When the brake pedal is released, the pressure of the master brake cylinder is released, and the return spring will reset the rodless cylinder, separate the rodless cylinder and the brake disc, and the brake is released.
6. There are air grooves on both sides of the rodless cylinder to balance the pressure at both ends of the rodless cylinder to prevent the rodless cylinder from tilting and getting stuck.
7. The brake system is usually equipped with a dual circuit to prevent the failure of a single circuit from causing a full-disc brake failure.
In summary, the rodless cylinder brake system uses the pressure difference to drive the piston to move, directly pushing the brake disc to generate friction braking force, which is a direct and powerful braking method.
