Master Cylinder Piston Component – Motor Vehicle Manufacturing

Component Specifications

Definition

A precision cylindrical component within a master cylinder that moves under applied force to displace hydraulic fluid, creating pressure for actuating downstream mechanisms like brakes or clutches. It operates within a sealed bore and interfaces with seals to maintain fluid integrity while transmitting force.

Working Principle

The piston translates linear mechanical input (e.g., from a pedal or lever) into hydraulic pressure by compressing fluid in the cylinder bore. This pressure is transmitted through hydraulic lines to actuate slave cylinders or other components, enabling force amplification and remote operation.

Materials

Typically aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061-T6) for lightweight applications, or hardened steel (e.g., AISI 4140) for high-stress environments. May include surface treatments like anodizing or chrome plating for corrosion and wear resistance.

Technical Parameters

Weight 50-150 g
Diameter 19-25 mm
Stroke Length 20-40 mm
Surface Finish Ra 0.4-0.8 μm
Operating Pressure Up to 20 MPa

Standards

ISO 4925, DIN 74254
