pedal travel

Earlier model calipers can develop play, resulting in long pedal travel.

Powerful, short in pedal travel, yet progressive and responsive.

Pedal travel is influenced by the fluid displacement of the brake and other factors.

A small piston may give nice high pressure and thus reduced efforts, but at the expense of excessive pedal travel.

Brakes should be positive and not wooden or have excessive pedal travel (rear adjustment problem).

Pedal travel is slightly over one inch.

Master cylinder bore sizes are always a balancing game between fluid pressures and pedal travel.

Check brake pedal travel in both directions.

While they are powerful and linear in response once engaged, the initial pedal travel is soft and on the V6 the pads feel grabby.

A pedal travel simulator creates normal pedal feedback.

Adjust-a-rail pedal assembly with throttle pedal travel stop.

They moved from a vague scrubbing of speed to kiss-the-windshield braking in just an inch of pedal travel.

As compressibility increases, more brake pedal travel is necessary for the same amount of brake caliper piston force.

Subaru said that a defect with the brake master cylinder could result in increased brake pedal travel before the vehicle began to slow.

Brakes - larger M/cylinder has reduced pedal travel, but you neeed a little more effort to actuate the brakes.

The company says it has recalibrated them to “provide a deceleration rate more directly proportional to pedal pressure instead of pedal travel.”

“The driver might misjudge the amount of brake pedal travel required to achieve the desired stopping distance, possibly resulting in a crash,” the automaker said.

In weather colder than 40 degrees, a seal could lose its effectiveness, which could cause excessive brake pedal travel and increased stopping distances, the company said.

Cars built between September 2000 and January 2001 need a two-hour service to correct a fault which could cause excessive brake pedal travel at very low temperatures.

And if the all-round disc brakes feel over-assisted, at least they stay that way through the entire pedal travel and are powerful as well as consistent.

The brake-by-wire system reduces pedal travel through the use of an electrical system instead of boosters, links and hydraulic cylinders, freeing up more interior space.

Pedal feel - Brake pedal feel encompasses subjective perception of brake power output as a function of pedal travel.

The force required to move the pedals, and the pedal travel distances, met certification requirements, Airbus said, and the one that crashed had no mechanical flaws before the accident.

However there is a lot of elasticity in a brake system and so master cylinder piston diameters are sized according to pedal travel constraints as much as pressure requirements.

Should the imbedded laser sensor detect an object, and the system calculates there may be a high risk for collision, the brake pedal travel is reduced in order to hasten braking.
