An air brake or, more formally, a compressed air brake system, is a type of friction brake for vehicles in which compressed air pressing on a piston is used to apply the pressure to the brake pad needed to stop the vehicle.
Brake fluid is the only thing that should be in the brake lines. If air gets into the lines, it can prevent the fluid from flowing properly, causing the brake pedal to feel spongy. A process called âbleeding the brakesâ gets rid of the air. Air in the brake line(s) is the most common cause of a soft brake pedal.
