EB-550 Hydraulic Brake Demonstrator

The EB-550 Hydraulic Brakes Demonstrator easily provides practical instruction in the proper operation and troubleshooting procedures of vacuum assisted drum and disk brakes. The Hydraulic Brakes Demonstrator enables students to learn how to diagnose faults in modern automobile brake systems more efficiently. Since the major components of the brake system and related measurement gauges are clearly visible, this training system is extremely useful in teaching hydraulic brake theory and fault-finding through the PUZ-2000 and troubleshooting courseware to an entire class.

The demonstrator panel provides the following components for easy student access:

Front brake assembly
2 Pressure gauges

Rear brake assembly
Operation valves

Hydraulic lines
Brake pedal

Electric wiring
Hand-brake assembly

Vacuum gauge
Master cylinder

Troubleshooting Tasks:

Stuck rear wheel caused by residual pressure
No vacuum due to booster malfunction

Broken rear brake line
Clogged front brake line

Front brakes do not work due to leak in master cylinder oil seals
Hard pedal caused by ruptured master cylinder diaphragm

Brake lights stay on due to defective brake switch
Inoperative hand brake

Low brake fluid condition
