Thanks for your answer Uplinker !

How does this pressure “fade” away? The hydraulic fluid previously stored in the accumulator runs out towards the brakes…but once the actuator has reached its position, ie. Compressing the brake disks, can’t the piston can remain in the given position, with the hydraulic fluid under pressure “blocked” inside the actuator? Any diagram would be highly appreciated. I might getting confused with where all this hydraulic fluid is going on.

Thanks !!
