A. Open System:
Open systems include a reservoir and bladder that allow for fluid to be automatically removed or added to the hydraulic system during usage. This bladder is at atmospheric pressure such that it can easily expand or contract. Reservoirs are the overflow for fluid that has heated and expanded due to braking. The ability for a bladder to change its volume within the system gives the excess fluid volume due to expansion a place to go without affecting the performance or feel of the brake. On the flip side, as brake pads begin to wear in a hydraulic caliper, the caliper pistons will move out further in their bores to adjust for this wear. The reservoir bladder automatically supplies the extra fluid needed to allow the pistons to pump out further. Having an open system that is either under-filled (bladder under vacuum) or overfilled (bladder under pressure) can greatly affect the performance of the brake.
B. Closed System:
A closed system may have a reservoir of excess fluid, however there is typically no bladder to automatically adjust for the changes in volume due to heat or pad wear. When the fluid heats up, the volume must be manually increased in order to prevent the brake from locking on. Vice-versa, when pads wear, the system must be manually adjusted to compensate for the wear.

G. Reservoir & Bladder
The function of the reservoir and bladder is defined in the open system section. Below are a couple key attributes of reservoirs and bladders.
1. Construction Bladders are typically manufactured from thin walled rubber to allow them to deform via expansion or contraction. Bladders need to be open to atmosphere or basically have brake fluid on one side, and then are exposed to the atmosphere on the other. This allows the pressure or vacuum inside the system to change the bladder shape without fighting any external back pressures.
das schreibt hayes im hayes "U"...und die sollten es wissen. ich frag mich allerdings wie es funktioniert, dass beim bremsen die bremsflüssigkeit den kolben bewegt statt einfach die blase aufzublasen....




Davon aber ab' - nö, geht immer noch um das Loch im Deckel!" ^^
