Several Disk Brake schematic figures and calculations are displayed below:
Pedal Box schematic
• | Pedal force (FP) = |
• | Pedal ratio (PR) = |
• | Force at master cylinder mount point (FMC) = PR * FP |
• | Brake bias (BB) = |
• | Force in front master cylinder, FFront = BB * FMC |
• | Pressure in front brake line, PFront = KBrake boost * FFront/AreaMC_front |
• | Force in rear master cylinder, FRear = (1 - BB) * FMC |
• | Pressure in rear brake line, PRear = KBrake boost * FRear/AreaMC_rear |
Front Brakes schematic
Brake Disk schematic
Normal force by brake pad on front brake Disk:
• | |
• | |
• | |
is friction coefficient between brake Disk and brake pad
is angular velocity of the wheel
Friction Force versus Wheel Angular Speed
• | Friction torque on the brake Disk = |
