The hydraulic pressure that results from applying piston “A” is equal to what is applied to piston “B”
The Hydraulic pressure is the same, but the applied force can be changed by the piston size.
The amount of hydraulic pressure is determined by dividing the force by the area of the piston
Radius squared x Pie (3.14) CBC Auto
The amount of force at the output piston can be determined by multiplying the area of the output piston by the pressure.
The caliper piston needs more applied force without servo action
The applied pressure can be raised or lowered by piston size
Hoses are like tires, and can seperate between the cord layers
