  • A Spring
  • B Chamber C
  • C Slide piston

When the car is used on rough roads where the tyres sometimes lose adhesion, the anti-lock brake system may function excessively, causing a very large volume of brake fluid to flow into chamber C. When this occurs, the piston is moved excessively, resulting in an abnormal loss of pressure in the chamber B. In order to overcome this problem, the slide piston is kept in a proper position by spring force to prevent the pressure in chamber B from becoming negative.
