The master piston is smaller than the slave piston in hydraulic systems to create a mechanical advantage. When the smaller master piston is pushed, it generates higher pressure in the hydraulic fluid, which is then transmitted to the larger slave piston. This difference in size allows a smaller force applied to the master piston to produce a larger force at the slave piston, enabling the system to amplify force effectively. This principle is fundamental in applications like hydraulic brakes and lifts.

Why is it not explain why the master pistom has a smaller inner surface area than the slave piston?

The master piston has a smaller inner surface area than the slave piston to create a mechanical advantage in hydraulic systems. This size difference allows a smaller force applied on the master piston to generate a larger force on the slave piston, following Pascal's principle. The design ensures efficient force transmission while minimizing the required input effort. Consequently, it enhances the overall effectiveness of the hydraulic system.


What does the master and slave cylinder do for the clutch?

The master clutch cylinder is attached to the clutch pedal. When one depresses the pedal hydraulic fluid is forced from the master cylinder through the hard line to the slave cylinder. The piston in the slave cylinder is driven against the clutch linkage thereby releasing the clutch.


How is energy conserved in a Hydraulic system?

The consertvation of energy in a hydraulic system could be understood by the formular (ENERGY = FORCE x DISTANCE) that represents mechanical energy. Now the hydraulic system consist mainly of two set of pistons which are the master where the energy is applied to the system and the slave where energy leaves the system to the load. Irrespective of the force diffence of the master piston and the slave piston, they will always give the same value when multiplied with distance moved by their respective pistons. This prove that the difference in forces experienced or distance moved by the master and slave piston did not alter the amount of energy in the hydraulic system since energy can be seen as force x distance ;)


My clutch pedal on a 1990 Chevy K2500 pushes to the floor with no resistance There is no fluid flow to from the master to slave cylinder They both have been changed and the master reservoir is full?

you may need to bleed the system for air and check for leaks, also your slave cylinder piston could be bad


How do you bleed a slave cylinder on a 95 camaro with no bleed valve?

There is no bleed screw on the 3.4 clutch. You have to unbolt the slave cylinder from the trans and drop it down so that it and the line are lower than the master cylinder, then pump the piston in/out to force any trapped air up to the master cylinder.


Where is the location of the master clutch slave cylinder on a 1991 Ford Probe?

I have an automatic. But (usually) The Slave Cylinder is on the transmission, easily accessible and easy to replace. It's a small thing on the transmission (usually) with a rubber boot with a piston inside. Have to bleed the clutch master cylnder as well. -CE


Was William Wells Brown a slave master?

No, he was a slave who escaped from his master.


How do you know if the clutch cylinder on a 97 suzuki sidekick is bad and it is not the clutch?

After you have located the clutch slave cylinder, have someone depress the clutch pedal. You should see the piston of the slave cylinder extend somewhat. If it does not, either the slave cylinder is bad, or the master cylinder, or, there is not enough brake fluid in the system for it to operate properly. Check the level in the master cylinder. If the slave cylinder is leaking profusely, it is probably bad.


When was Internet Slave Master created?

What is the difference between a hydraulic clutch and a cable clutch?

Cable clutch - when you depress the clutch lever or pedal, you pull at a Cable whose other end is attached to the fork that operates the pressure plate in the clutch assembly. Hydraulic clutch - when you depress the clutch lever or pedal, you push at a piston in a Master cylinder. Pushing at the piston pressurizes the hydraulic fluid in the master cylinder, and in the hose leading to a Slave cylinder placed at the clutch. The piston in the slave cylinder extends and operates the pressure plate in the clutch assembly.


What are the four possible configurations for a PATA drive installed in a system?

Primary Master Primary Slave Secondary Master Secondary Slave Primary or Secondary will depend on which cable are you using to connect the drive. Master or Slave will depend on the drive's jumper configuration.
