Brake hose plays a vital role in the automobile braking system. Its main function is to transfer the brake medium during the braking process, ensuring that the braking force can be effectively transmitted to the brake shoe or brake caliper, so as to achieve timely braking effect. Brake hoses need to have good ozone resistance, low temperature resistance and high temperature resistance, and at the same time need to have high tensile strength and stable braking effect. In addition, brake hoses should be safe, reliable, durable, and not easy to crack or fall off.
Types of brake hoses
Brake hoses can be divided into rubber brake hoses and nylon brake hoses according to different materials. Rubber brake hoses have strong tensile strength and are easy to install. However, the surface is prone to aging after long-term use. Nylon brake hoses have the advantages of anti-aging and corrosion resistance. However, the tensile strength will be weakened at low temperatures. And it is easy to break under external force impact. Therefore, choosing the right brake hose material is crucial to ensure the safe driving of the vehicle.
In order to improve the sensitivity of the brake foot feel, replacing the brake hose is an effective solution. The expansion problem of the rubber hose can be solved by using a steel hose. This can increase the force of the master brake cylinder to be transmitted to the brake cylinder earlier, thereby improving the sensitivity of the brake foot feel.
