Hydraulic Brake Model
Product Code : SCL-AM-11154
Quick answer: The Hydraulic Brake Model is a mounted classroom model that demonstrates Pascal's law and the working of hydraulic brakes. Pressing one syringe-type actuator sends pressure through flexible tubing to a second actuator that brakes a wheel. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How the model is used in teaching
Pascal's law states that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every part of the fluid. In the model, pushing the plunger of one syringe, which plays the part of the master cylinder, raises the pressure of the liquid in the tubing; the second syringe at the wheel then moves and applies the brake.
Because the pressure p = F/A is the same at both ends, the output force is F2 = F1 x A2/A1, so an output piston of larger area delivers a larger force. A car's brakes work the same way: the pedal drives a master cylinder, and brake fluid carries the pressure to the cylinders at each wheel.
- Place the model on a level bench and check that the tubing is firmly connected to both syringes.
- Press the plunger of the input syringe slowly and watch the output syringe move at the wheel.
- Observe the brake act on the wheel, then draw the plunger back and watch it release.
- Discuss where the force is applied, how the pressure travels through the liquid and how a vehicle brake system uses the same principle.

Frequently asked questions
What does the hydraulic brake model demonstrate?
It demonstrates Pascal's law: pressure applied at one syringe is carried through the liquid in the tubing to the second syringe, which operates the brake on the wheel.
Where is the principle used in real life?
In the hydraulic brakes of cars and motorcycles, and in other hydraulic machines such as jacks and presses, where a small input force is turned into a larger output force.
