3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply in this standard.
3.1
Fluid supply cavity
A cavity (see Figure 1 and Figure 2) connected to the fluid reservoir through the fluid supply hole. This cavity will supply the brake service cavity with brake fluid at the moment the brake is released.
3.2
Brake service cavity
A cavity (see Figure 1 and Figure 2) connected to the brake circuit through the fluid drainage hole or residual valve. During the braking process, the hydraulic pressure built in brake service cavity is equal to the hydraulic pressure in the circuit connected to the brake service cavity.
3.3
Compensating hole
A hole in the cylinder body (or piston) that connects the brake service cavity and fluid reservoir (or fluid supply cavity) (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). This hole will compensate brake fluid for the brake service cavity or return the brake fluid to the fluid reservoir at the brake releasing state.
3.4
Center valve
A valve on the piston, set between the brake service cavity and fluid supply cavity (see Figure 1). At braking state, the passage between brake service cavity and fluid supply cavity can be cut off under the control of this valve; at the brake releasing state, brake fluid can be compensated for the brake service cavity under the control of this valve.
