ABSTRACT:
A brake assembly (30) has a plurality of brake fluid actuated pistons. The brake assembly includes a brake inlet port (46) for receiving brake fluid from a fluid reservoir. The brake assembly includes a plurality of cylinders (32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, and 44) for actuating a corresponding plurality of pistons. The plurality of cylinders includes at least a first cylinder (32), a second cylinder (44), and a third cylinder (38) for actuating corresponding pistons. The first, second, and third pistons actuate at first, second, and third time intervals. A fluid distribution manifold (48) is connected in fluid communication with the brake inlet port. A plurality of cylinder manifolds (50) includes at least a first cylinder manifold connected in fluid communication with the fluid distribution manifold and the first cylinder, a second cylinder manifold connected in fluid communication with the fluid distribution manifold and the second cylinder, and a third cylinder manifold connected in fluid communication with the fluid distribution manifold and the third cylinder. The first, second, and third cylinder manifolds connect the first, second, and third cylinders in parallel fluid flow, and the parallel fluid flow tends to equalize the first, second, and third time intervals.
