As an engineer, I will look at it this way:
Pressure Breaking systems can work on Hydraulic Pressure. The Hydraulic FLUID (I prefer 'fluid' to 'liquid'), in the inter-connected vesels, is RE-DIRECTED (I prefer 're-directed' to 'recast'). I understand eccentricity because the breaking force is applied away from the centre of the rotating part. I understand counter-clockwise, beacuse the rotating part is rotating in a clockwise direction and to break it, you need a counter-clockwise force. I am not sure what you mean by 'gliding', but ny guess will be 'sliding' (friction) - meaning that the breaking surface slides on the rotating part. If you feel this is close to what the original text means, I can help you more. Hope this helps :-))

\"Eccentricity\" simply means away from the center. All Cams are eccentrically mounted devices, but not all eccentrically mounted devices are cams. There are other eccentrically mounted devices. For example please see:
http://www.monito.com/wankel/rce.html
Three main moving parts in most RC engines: 2 rotors and the eccentric shaft. These rotate continuously in a single direction. They do not jerk backwards and forwards.
http://www.monito.com/wankel/glossary.html#eccentric
Eccentric Shaft
The shaft that the rotors move around. It has sections that are offset from the center. Supercedes the piston engine\'s crankshaft.
Hope this sets to rest, all speculations about whether I am an English speaking Engineer!

Here\'s another take based on your additional inputs:
It is based on redirecting the hydraulic fluid in the interconnected vessels, to make them flow eccentrically to create counter-clockwise (braking) pressure.

Richard Benham
: Eccentric=cam (sort of). Also, it's "braking", not "breaking".

Thank you Richard for correcting my spelling. 'Cam' in a Hydraulic Braking system??

Grammatical and lexical improvements
It is based on the recasting of hydraulic liquid in interconnected vessels that operate erratically while causing counter-clockwise pressure.
I think this better reflects what apparently is an attempted translation by someone.
Mike :)

a typo?
should be "glide on eccentric axes"?

My two bob's worth.
Firstly, the sentence does not make sense. It appears to have been written by a non-native speaker of English, or to be more precise, a non-speaker of English or a speaker of non-English. Somehow, however, it would seem that hydraulic fluid is redirected (probably alternately) between two interconnected vessels, causing them to impart some kind of reciprocating force to a cam (also known--to crossword puzzle solvers at elast--as an eccentric, because it is ecentrically placed on its shaft), which converts this to a torque in the counterclokwise direction.

I did notice the typo of \"elast\" for \"least\". I thought it sufficiently obvious not to require explanation.

: what does "to crossword puzzle solvers at 'ELAST' mean?". By the way, it is 'Eccentrically'.:-)) Be Happy!!

The word in the quote is used as a noun, and spelt "eccentric", An eccentric, as you would know if you were an English-speaking engineer, is a cam-like device for converting rotary to reciprocal motion or vice versa.

suggestion
Sometimes part of what we have to translate is something which is unfamiliar (in my own case, the parts of a gun)
I usually look up the relevant words in Google, look for "images" for improved comprehension and also ask friends who master the subject and know the local language.
In your case, may I suggest you look up:
> as an example of similar text:
Double loop vacuum power assistance hydraulic pressure
brake system give you perfect brake function.
www.mudanauto.com/english/products/big/city-low-3.htm
> for a diagram of a brake system:
www.drivetrain.com/remcobrkblockdia.html
> for a short explanation: An automotive braking system is comprised of a brake pedal and linkage, brake booster, master cylinder, brake lines, and front and rear-brake assemblies (see Figure 5). The braking
system is a sophisticated hydraulic system that is designed to convert a small amount of foot pressure applied at the pedal into a much higher braking pressure applied at the wheels.
In both front and rear brakes, the pressure applied at the wheels forces stationary brake components to rub against rotating components, thus converting the kinetic energy of the car into heat energy
through friction.
While there are two different brake designs: disc and drum, most cars today use disc brakes, so we limit our discussion to these. Force applied by stepping on the brake pedal is magnified several times through the mechanical levers of the linkage, and through the brake booster, and transmitted to the master cylinder piston. The resulting hydraulic pressure is transmitted via brake fluid through the brake lines to the caliper cylinders in the front and rear disc brake assemblies. The caliper cylinders are attached to the car's suspension, and do not rotate with the wheels. The pressure on the caliper pistons forces the brake pads to clamp on the brake rotors, which rotate with the wheel hubs, reducing the vehicle's speed through friction. for the complete article, please go to: emertech.wharton.upenn.edu/WhartonMiniConfPapers/ ManagingCompVariety_Ramdas%20et%20al%2011%20011.pdf
Hope this will help and encourage you to continue.
