This process involves physical displacement and the flow of fluid, with a long response time and slow braking reaction. In addition, the hydraulic system contains many moving parts, such as the master cylinder, brake lines, brakes, and related seals. These parts may wear or leak due to mechanical degradation over time and require regular inspection and maintenance. The brake fluid in the hydraulic brake system is harmful to the environment. If leaked or improperly handled, these fluids may cause damage to the ecosystem.
