The car brake bible - how brakes work, including disc brakes, drum brake calipers, hoses, brake and brake maintenance general, current and future braking technologies, automotive maintenance DIY and more.
The answer is simple, they slow you Complex Response brakes are designed to slow a vehicle, but probably not by the means that many people think the common misconception is that the brakes squeeze against a drum or disc and the pressure of the compression action is what slows the car down this is actually a part of the equation the brakes are essentially a mechanism to change the types of energy When traveling to speed, a vehicle has a kinetic energy when the brakes are applied, the pads or shoes that press against the brake drum or rotor convert this energy into thermal energy by friction brake cooling dissipates heat and the vehicle slows it is the first law of Thermodynamics, sometimes called the law of conservation of energy states that this can not be created nor destroyed energy, it can only be conve rt from one form to the other in the case of brakes, it is converted from kinetic energy into thermal energy angular force Due to the configuration of the brake pads of a na rotor in a disc brake, the location of the point of contact where friction is generated also provides a mechanical moment to resist the rotation of the rotor movement.
Motorcycle and race car drivers are probably familiar with the fading term used to describe what happens to the brakes when they get too hot A good example down a mountain pass using the brake rather than the engine and transmission to slow Like you start down the collar, hot brakes, slowing the car down, but if you continue to use the rotors or drums remains hot and get no chance to cool off at some point, they can t absorb more heat so that the brake pads heat instead in all brake pads, it is the friction material which is held with a kind of resin and once it getting too hot, the resin begins to vaporize the formation of a gas because the gas can not stay between the pad and the rotor, it forms a thin layer between the two while trying to escape the buffers lose contact with the rotor, which reduces the amount of friction and voila complete brake fade typical remedy would be to get the vehicle to a stop and wait for a few minutes as s brake components cool, capacity absorb heat returns and the next time the brakes are applied, they seem very well this brake fade was more common in older vehicles newer vehicles tend to have less outgassing brake pad compounds but still suffer fading So why it is still to do with the pads get too hot with compounds newer brake pads, the pads transfer heat in the stirrups once the rotors are too hot, and the brake fluid begins boil bubble formation in that because air is compressible n brake fluid is not when the brake pedal is ENFO NCEE, air bubbles instead of compressing the fluid transferring the movement of the brake caliper That fading modern brakes.
So how do engineers design brakes to reduce or eliminate brake fade for older vehicles, the vaporized gas is given a place to go for newer vehicles, there are methods to cool the rotors out more effectively anyway the result is brake perforated or grooved rotors while the grooving of the surface can reduce the specific heat capacity of the rotor, its effect is negligible in the general scheme of things However, braking heavy once everything is hot and resin spraying, the grooves give somewhere the gas to go, so the pad can continue to communicate with the rotor, allowing the car to stop.
The whole understanding of energy conversion is key to understanding how and why the brakes do what they do, and why they are designed the way they are if you've ever watched Formula 1 races, you will see the front wheels have huge balls inside the wheel pointing forward see the image above This is channeling air to the brake components to help cool because in the F1 race the brakes are used viciously every few seconds and spend much of their time trying to stay warm Without some form of aid cooling, brakes would be fine for the first few corners but fade and become almost useless by half around the F1 track in particular, it actually becomes a balance because the brakes can not get too cool or they become ineffective carbon-ceramic brakes and carbon-carbon should be ch aud, not hot, to function properly, but can t because they suffer overheating fade Here is a video showing Brembo to brake tests on F1 carbon-carbon brakes.
If a brake rotor was a single block of cast steel, it would have terrible heat dissipation properties and leave nowhere for the vaporized gas to go because of this, the brake discs are generally modified with all kinds additional design features to help cool them quickly as possible and any dissapate gas between the pads and rotors chart shows some examples of rotor types with different modifications can be done to help them create more friction, disperse more heat faster, and ventilate gas from left to right.
1 Basic brake rotor 2 splined rotor - the grooves give more teeth and therefore more friction during their passage between the brake pads They also allow gas to vent from between the pads and the rotor 3 groove drilled rotor - the holes again give more teeth, but also allow vortices of air currents for blowing through the brake disc to facilitate cooling and ventilation gas 4 double ventilated rotors - as before, but now with two rotors instead of one, and with fins on them to generate a vortex that will cool the rotors even further while trying to actually suck away any gas buffers an important note on the rotors drilled drilled rotors are generally not find and use on race cars the drilling weakens the rotors and usually results in microfractures to the rotor on the race cars this pr oblem isn ta - the brakes are changed after each race or weekend but on a road car, this may eventually lead to failure of the brake rotor - that would be a bad thing it is worthwhile only if a menthioning becau many suppliers will fuel performance drilled rotors for street cars without mentioning this fact somewhat Some cars need more upgrades to the brakes than other Mustangs happen to be one of these vehicles is an excellent AmericanMuscle job explaining the Mustang brake system and how to go About the upgrade the form of stock.
How this applies to larger brake discs - a common sports car car upgrade sports and racing bikes usually have much bigger discs or rotors than the average family car or a larger rotor scooter more material in it so it can absorb more heat more material also means a larger surface area for the pads to generate friction with, and better heat dissipation larger rotors also developed contact distant beaches of the axis of rotation this provides a greater mechanical advantage for resisting rotation of the rotor itself to better illustrate how this works, imagine a steel disc rotating on an axis in front of you if you close your thumbs on either side of the disc near the middle, your thumbs warm very quickly and you need to push hard enough to generate the en iction needed to slow the drive down now imagine doing the same thing, but squeeze your thumbs together near the outer rim of the disc disk stops spinning much faster and your thumbs won t get as hot as in a word explains why every principle bigger rotors stop better power.

All work by friction brake friction causes heat that is part of the kinetic energy conversion process How they create friction is down to different models.
It is worth to cover these because they're the most basic type of brake operation that exists, which can easily be observed while working, and easily understand the construction is very simple and out-in-the- open a pair of rubber blocks are attached to a pair of yokes that are pivoted on the frame when the brake cable is pulled, the pads are pressed against the side or inner rim of the bicycle wheel rim rubber creates a friction, which creates heat that is the transfer of kinetic energy that slows the bike there is really only two types of bicycle brake - those on which each brake shoe from the same pivot point, and those with two pivot points if you can watch a bicycle brake and not understand what is going on, the rest of this page will make you a bit of a headache.
The following type of brake, the more complex is a drum brake The concept here is simple to two semicircular brake shoes are seated inside of a rotating drum which is secured to the wheel when the brakes are applied, shoes are extended outwardly to press against the interior of the drum it creates friction, which creates heat, which transfers the kinetic energy, slowing the car down the example below shows a simple model the actuator in this case is the blue elliptical object Like what is twisted, it forces against the brake shoes and in turn requires them to extend outwardly the return spring is thereby pulling the rear shoes the surface of the brake drum when the brakes are released See the next section for more information on the types of actuators.
The single leading edge refers to the number of parts of the brake shoe which are in contact effectively the spinning drum Because the pivot of the brake shoes at one end, a simple geometry means that the entire buffer brake can not contact the brake drum, the leading edge is the term given to the part of the brake pad makes contact with the drum, and in the case of a single board system of attack, it is the part to the nearest of the actuator buffer this diagram shows what happens as the brakes are applied the shoes are pressed outwards and the portion of the brake pad which first contacts the drum is leading edge of the action of the rotation of the drum in fact allows to pull the brake shoe toward the outside due to friction, which causes the brakes to bite the brake shoe of the trailing edge is substantially no contact with the drum at all C ette simple geometry, explains why it is really difficult to stop a vehicle back if it's equipped only with single tip drum brakes as the drum rotates back, ading the edge of the shoe becomes the trailing edge and so doesn t bite.
The disadvantages of the shaped edge single drive drum brake can be eliminated by addition of a second return spring and rotating the pivot point in a second actuator Now, when the brakes are applied, the shoes are pressed outwards at two points Thus, each brake pad now has a leading and a trailing edge Because there are two brake shoes, there are two brake pads, which means that there are two edges attack hence the name double edge.
Some background disc brakes were invented in 1902 and patented by Birmingham carmaker Frederick William Lanchester Its original design had two discs pressed against each other to generate friction and slow his car down this wasn t until 1949 that the disc brakes appeared on a production car if obscure uS automaker has Crosley Hotshot called a vehicle that used the more familiar brake rotor and caliper that we all know and love today His original design was a bit crap though - the brakes lasted less than a year each Finally in 1954 na launched prematurely in his Citroen DS was the first time that modern incarnation disc brakes and other nifty stuff as leveling, semi-automatic gearbox, active headlights and composite body panels everything which was reintroduced as new by automakers within 90 seconds.
Disc brakes are an order of magnitude better at stopping vehicles that drum brakes, which is why they're found on the front of almost every vehicle built car and motorcycle sports more now with more speed high need better brakes to slow down, so that the disc brakes are often used on the back of these too.
Disc brakes are again a two part system instead of the drum, there is a disc or rotor, and instead of the brake shoes, there are brake caliper assemblies caliper assemblies contain a or more hydraulic pistons that push against the back of the brake pads, clamp them together around the rotor rotating as they clamp together, the more friction is generated, which means more heat, which means the transfer of kinetic energy, which slows the car down Get the idea now Visit to find more brakes to your vehicle.
standard disc brakes have one or two cylinders in them - also known as one or two-piston calipers When more power is needed, three or more cylinders can be used sports bikes have 4 or 6 piston calipers arranged in pairs disadvantage disc brakes is that they are extremely intolerant of poor workmanship or bad machining If a regular car rotor disk is off by as 0 inches 07mm in March 1000, there will be hell when the brakes are used as the chain still mild misalignment is going to turn through the brackets tight to a certain speed and vibration resulting ungodly will wonder the driver if they are driving the stairs to fight against this problem, which is particularly critical on motorcycles, floating rotors were invented.
standard brake discs are molded in one piece that locks directly to the wheel or disc plate If the mounting surface of the wheel or the drive plate is not perfectly flat, there will be vibration to floating speed rotors are generally expressed in two parts - the rotor and the support bracket is bolted to the wheel and the rotor is fixed to the bracket using the float buttons other method to float a brake rotor is to having rotor bolted directly to the wheel itself without support, but the bolts float buttons built into them.
These buttons allow the brake rotor a certain freedom to move laterally, but limit the angular and rotational movement as if they were bolted directly to the wheel This slight lateral movement that can be less than 0 03mm is just enough to prevent vibration in the braking system stirrups are securely mounted, distortion or misalignment in assembling a wheel or brake rotor face can be compensated because the rotor will float laterally on the float buttons This vibration side to side separated from the support by the float buttons themselves, so that none of the resulting movement is transferred to the suspension or steering Clever eh rendering on the right shows an extreme closeup of the above brake disc components are rendered very transparent to make it easier to see what happens.
Around 2003, the bikes started to hit the showrooms with a new feature - radial brakes magazines and testers all say that the radial brakes are the fastest bike stop not true - they have nothing to do with the braking power and everything to do with the design of the front fork of the motorcycle more and more bicycles out with forks reversed ie instead of the portion of fat box of the fork being at the bottom of the meeting, it is the top this means that the fork pistons are now a part of the suspension with the wheel attached to them, it also means that it is impossible to put a splint fork stiffening there now because the brace would need to move with the wheel, and the length of the fork prevents pistons.
The rigidity of the front end is now entirely dependent on the size of the front axle front end of the Bigger stiffer axle A side effect of this design is that the brake calipers mounted traditionally could cause a lot of vibration in the direction due to flex between the wheel with the brake disc bolted to it, and the fork arm with the yoke lightly tolerance permitted by floating brake discs could not compensate for the amount of bending in the forks to reduce vibration of induced brake fork, the brake calipers has been moved slightly the rotors so that they have fallen into the alignment background before the wheel axle It s less lateral flex at this point, which means that no or no vibration caliper media were changed too traditional brackets bolted to the fork by means of bolts passing through the 90 to the face of brake rotor age with radial brackets, bolts are aligned parallel to the brake rotor - also effective in aligning front-rear wheel This design is a net-do wn the technology superbike racing where a radial thickness mounting allows teams Running use different brake rotor diameters simply by adding struts between the bracket and the Image mounting bracket here shows the difference between the stirrups traditional brakes and mounted radially.
In the early 2000s there was a quiet but significant revolution is happening in the world of the brakes, and it was caused by a Canadian company called NewTech I say is because while there are always references spotted them on Internet their main site and contacts seem to have disappeared anyway - rather than specific improvements that tend to occur in the slight changes in design technology, slight improvements of materials, the new system was a radical overhaul to from the ground NewTech has developed a full disc brake system called brake contact disk They examined traditional pad design and rotor and figured that only 15 contact pads to the rotor surface at any time with a change design, NewTech could add 5 other pads to the system so that the brake rotor 75 is in contact with the wafer s simultaneously.
With conventional rotors and pads, brake rotor is clamped between the pad with NewTech design, the brake rotor itself has become a floating rotor, similar to those found on motorcycles It was covered with a spider structure red in my interpretations that had 6 to brake pads inside one hydraulic system acted on the composite membrane entirely circular elastomer behind the brake disc mounted in the black structure in coatings This also had 6 pads on what prompted the entire disk 6 against the studs inside the spider this provided an even force across the drive helping to make even contact all 12 pads to ensure that the brakes are remained cold, the system was covered with cooling fins connected to the external pads for dissipating heat the inner plates are equipped with a barrier THERMAL e made of a molded composite material special inserts in a variety of friction materials have been uniformly distributed over the entire surface of the wafer the range of materials has been used for an assured performance under various conditions NewTech considers that the system has considerable advantages over conventional brakes with better cooling, higher strength and reduced noise and vibration NewTech sold versions of trucks and buses of these brakes in road transport and public transport, but Renault now considering introducing this system on its cars in conjunction with a new braking system by first OEM customer wire should be Saleen will put the system on their Newtech S7 supercar, but in the end went with conventional monobloc calipers six-piston NewTech site site went online in 2009 and has not res raised.
It is interesting to note that this is not actually the first time this has been tried in Bugatti cars experienced a system like this in the late 80s for inclusion on their 1991 EB110 supercar; it would be optional for those cars that had experienced the brakes said they were just beyond the earth, that the stopping power was well beyond the average driver capabilities They came from Aerospatiale, the French aerospace company, who also designed the chassis to the EB110 this type of brake has been used in aircraft at the time Bugatti abandoned the idea because the brakes would have cost more than the rest of the EB110, which, to 350,000 was not a cheap car.
Siemens VDO in Germany are trying to bring a brake EWB prototype electric corner on the market as much as it looks like a high school prank involving underwear, it is actually the last attempt to remove the hydraulic circuit braking in EWB car is an innovative idea based on technology developed by a company called eSTOP Siemens acquired eSTOP beginning in 2005 and continued to work on the wedge system since the principle is both simple and clever the wafer brake is pressed against the brake rotor by means of a shaped thrust plate corner over the brake rotor rotates, the greater the slope of the wedge pushes the pads against because of the shape of the wedge bearings and the plate pushing and rotating the brake rotor, the buffer is effectively forced against the rotor over the faster the rotor turns in fact, much braking force to input very some are running on a normal vehicle electrical system 12v which means no hydraulic It also has all the OWS system to remove the plumbing associated with ABS as EWB is fully electronically controlled The last advantage, if we can call this, is that it allows the first real braking system of any electronic brake by wire-by-case wire systems use electronics behind the brake pedal to send signals to the actuators in the hydraulic system with EWB it n ' there is no hydraulic system so that the only connection of the caliper brake pedal is a power supply wire 12 V and the actuation of the operation signal of the timing system is based on several roller bearings and a wedge-shaped thrust plate connected to a pair of electric motors 12v that the brake pedal is depressed, the signal is voyé the engine to start moving the due pressing plate shape and design of the roller bearings, the thrust plate moves, it forces the support brake shoe against the time brake rotor reaction of the electric motors can be measured in milliseconds - much faster than any hydraulic system could react, in theory, when connected to a full-wire braking system controlled by computer, the EWB should be able to shave milliseconds off braking reaction time Doesn t sound much, but if it means a little less than the stopping distance meters, which can be a good thing the brake caliper unit itself has a braking module intelligent integrated wheels as well as motors, bearings and corners, the module also includes a detection system to track movement and strength - basically that's what that replaces the traditional elements of ABS so that each brake caliper becomes an autonomous unit ABS As s no physical link back to more brake pedal, ABS doesn t force the brake pedal judder when active that will make it more acceptable to many more drivers Finally, because the system is completely electronic, the handbrake pulled by traditional cable can also be removed and replaced by a parking just switch that activates the four EWB modules.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to any new system like this by reducing Obviously the weight and complexity of the braking system is good, and because of the design of the EWB ago has taken much less space in the engine compartment, freeing up more space for car designers to work with, but removing the hydraulic lines, ABS sensors and actuators, cylinders and brake master and slave, the concept becomes fully EWB dependent 12v electrical system and the whims of a computer how often a simple ground connections hanging around a car can totally screw up the electrical circuits, is worth the trouble to ask what would happen if a strap for release for earth was cut and the electronic braking system began to play until these brakes have a fail-safe backup system or as dual hydraulic circu icts that we use now, or will the drivers navigate away into a solid object because they have not left brake Siemens aren t clear on this issue until we have the chance to make some illustrations to better show how the system works here are those of the Siemens press release.
Just a note on the brake pads compounds Most buffers used to use asbestos, but we all know what this stuff is like now they use all kinds of materials combinations, pads them- same made of a friction material bonded to the support plate the brake caliper piston pushes against the carrier plate and the friction material is pressed against the brake disc material combinations generally fall into the following general categories now.
These organic plugs are well suited for conducting street because they are well, are easy on the ears, don t chew the rotors and don t spew dust wherever they're favored for the average family sedan because they operate well when they re cold of course the downside is that they don t work so well when sintered hot semi-metallic This is a good compromise between the street and follow these seem to be the pad of choice for vehicles Sporty such as the Subaru Impreza WRX they won t work as well as organic buffers when they are cold, you have to be a little wary of the first couple of stops by cons, they work well in hot occasionally the weak link of semi-metal plates is the bonding material which holds the friction pad to the backing plate There have been occasions when the friction material is completely out again that s infrequent but Metallic These pads are usually reserved for the race or the very rich, they shout and dust like crazy, are tough on the rotors and gift tw very cold ORK ceramic ceramic pads still have metal fibers 15 against about 40 semi-metallic, but they are made of copper instead of steel and therefore cause less heat to wear and transfer best t they also fade easily as other buffers, cool more quickly, last more, and are actually quiet as the sound they genereate is outside the human range of hearing dogs go crazy if dust created by ceramic pads is also very light in color so your wheels look more clean.
Brake squeal is a sign of one of the two things that the friction material is disappeared and the support plate is wedged against the brake rotor, or the adjustment of the brake pad against the caliper piston is not pleasant as it could be any event, the squeal is the result of extremely high frequency vibration between the pad, piston caliper and the brake rotor Some vehicles have problems with the brakes right squealy factory in these cases, simply changing brake pads manufacturer can often cure the problem as different pads have a slightly different harmonic frequency, which is more difficult to achieve a classic example was one of BMW touring bikes R1100 of factory, they squeal of madly, and BMW redesigned calipers and brake discs of two or three times until they finally just switched to another brand of pads and the ad issue isparu.
For a reasonably competent home mechanic, a good way to solve brake squeal is to put some copper grease on the back of the brake pads which is very important, so I'll say it again in CAPS BACK copper grease is highly resistant to pressure and heat and possibly get on the forehead pads, you will need new pads and rotors or discs picture here shows a section of a disc brake together red caliper housing right misses to show both money brake pistons the idea is that the copper grease creates a small pouch sticky lubrication between the front brake pistons and the rear face of brake pads This is usually sufficient to prevent the high frequency squeal If you are not happy to do it yourself work on a part of a car like brakes is not CRIT ue for safety something that everyone should then find a friendly Greasemonkey to do the job instead.
There's few products on the market that I have heard and or used in the past Noisefree is one of them CRC Quiet brake disk is another and then there I Copaslip the author used on Copaslip my vehicles before without problems I've had positive feedback CRC people use motorcycles and cars Noisefree is a new player, so if you used their product and have any comments, drop me a line All three are available in America, but I think if you're in Europe, you're limited to Copaslip or of course the internet.
While copper grease as Copaslip works well in the short term to solve brake squeal in the long run, it has a negative effect on the rubber dust seals piston caliper This can lead to tightness deterioration or failing completely If this happens, it leaves the piston and the surface is exposed to the same elements it should be protected just so you know.
While ultra-high frequency of vibration is a cause of brake squeal, the other Biggie is related to the alignment of the driving suspension on rough roads, mountaineering through the pot-holes or wheel kerbing do all the suspension movement around the way that was never really designed to deal with, and in turn leads to suspension bushings becomes stressed Normally realign the wheels on a vehicle is corrected by a mechanical adjustment that if the mounting rubbers are first de-stressed, then it leads to the transfer of sound during braking in the chassis and body which then amplifies where you can hear a bit like a giant record player with suspension the needle pick-up and the entire vehicle as the speaker If copper grease doesn t resolve a brake squeal problem, consider a realignment of the appropriate suspension and optionally NEW girls suspension rings.

The brakes are fine, but for them there must be a method of applying to work the method by which the strength of an affected hand or foot brake itself is everything to do with the operating system of brake.
This is about as basic as it gets a cable is connected to a lever at each end pressing on a lever with a foot or press with one hand, and pulls the lever at the other end on the rear brake lever end it s an elliptical cam which rotates inside a circular cup in the brake shoe such that the major axis of rotation of the ellipse, it forces the brake shoes to move the the other in the case of a bicycle brake, the brake cable end simply pulls the two brackets together.
One step, and is located on the rear brake of old bikes, connecting solid bar This allows the use of a mechanical advantage see below to amplify the force on the pedal or lever before it is to brakes themselves in general, these systems are used on the drum brakes with the elliptical actuator described above the drawback of this system is that it requires pivot points and pivoting corresponding to the position of the components the suspension re if not present, passes over a bump might halt as the suspension moves with respect to the lever.
Another step up and we get the type of braking system used on most cars and motorcycles Gone today are the cables and bars, replaced instead of a piston system, reservoirs and fluids hydraulic hydraulics single circuit have three basic components - the master cylinder, the slave cylinder and the reservoir They re joined together with the hydraulic pipe and filled with an incompressible hydraulic fluid brake fluid see below when the brake pedal is pressed, or the brake lever is tightened, a small piston assembly is moved within the master cylinder Since the brake fluid does not compress, the pressure is instantaneously transferred through line hydraulic brake to the slave cylinder which acts on a further piston assembly, by pushing on the slave assembly is either connected to a lever for operating the brakes Or more commonly, is the brake caliper itself, with the slave cylinder having the piston which acts directly on the brake pads due to the arrangement of the cylinder slav e, heat from the brake can be transferred into the brake fluid.
hydraulics dual circuit are available on high end luxury vehicles and motorcycles currently available, particularly BMW bikes They have two separate circuits one is the control circuit - that art one acts on the brake pedal or lever, the second is a separate circuit controlled by an onboard computer, and that art that which is actually connected to the brake that brakes are applied, a pressure signal is sent via the control circuit to the brake computer that measures the amount of force applied, and with the aid of a servo pump system applies the same force to the secondary circuit to activate the brakes if something ordinary product like the driver tried to slam on the brakes at 100 mph, the computer will recognize that this would result in a skid or rotation, and will not send the full pressure on the secondary circuit, instead of December ider to use the ABS speed sensors and to determine optimum brake pressure to maintain control of the vehicle has the advantage of a double-s ystem circuit is that the control circuit obtains heat transferred in it never, because it is totally separate brakes themselves the downside of course is that there are now two hydraulic circuits to maintain.
The most advanced brake system to date brake by wire It is a direct copy of some racing brakes and styles are very similar to the hydraulic dual-circuit system described above, but instead of the control circuit being hydraulically it is replaced by electronics, the brake pedal or lever is connected to a rheostat hypersensitive measure the electrical resistance the more it is pushed, the greater the electrical signal to the braking computer from here, it performs as well as the circuit high above described the advantage of this system is that the brake pedal or lever can be placed almost anywhere because it is no longer encumbered by the plumbing that goes along with a hydraulic circuit for the fight against complaints Sample lack of sensation in the brakes, most brake-by-wire systems have an integrated against feedback loop This test measures the pressure applied to the brakes in the secondary circuit, and actuates an electric resistance in the pedal assembly or lever to provide resis tance This is necessary because there is no physical connection to a part of the braking system at all.

mechanical advantage or why you can stop a car with one foot 2 tons.
If you have made a kind of physics course when you were back in school, you may remember something called mechanical advantage in its basic form, the mechanical advantage is the balance of power to force in a mechanical system mechanical advantage effort torque load torque, for example, a weight 20 kg 1 meter a pivot can lift a weight 40 kg 0 5m from the pivot across the torque calculation of the effort and load torque are to do with the force in Newtons and the distance from the pivot point Thus, the torque is measured in Newton -metres or Nm in Newton is the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram of one meter per second on Earth where the acceleration due to gravity is 9 8m s, the force exerted on a mass of 1 kg is usually rounded 9 8N to 10n another popular notation - pound force foot, commonly known as foot-pounds Newton 1 -meter equivalent to 0737 feet- books The diagram below shows a simple lever system on a swivel The load torque is 200Nm, and e a torque of 200 Nm Ffort is also the mechanical load of the effort of the benefit, which in this case is 200 200, which is to say that the system is balanced.
Now imagine increasing the weight on the side of 30kg efforts instead of 20 kg but leaving everything else the same The load torque is 200Nm always, but the stress torque is now 300Nm mechanical load stress advantage, which is 300 200, which is 1 5 Every value of the mechanical advantage greater than 1 0 means that the force has the advantage in this case, weight 30 kg, which is lighter than the load 40 kg is able to lift it off the ground.
If you now take your new found knowledge remembered physics and look at the simple system of the brake lever, you will realize how it is possible to generate enough force using a foot to stop a glance car or motorcycle look at this diagram of the cam lever brake.
This system has 4 levers in it the middle two have no mechanical advantage that the levers are connected to the same distance from the pivot in each case, however, look pedal values that I set are arbitrary, but they serve goal on the pedal we have a certain amount of force 20cm from the pivot, but the other end of the lever is only 5 cm swivel This gives us a mechanical advantage of 4 on 20cm 5cm brake lever at the other end, the lever attached to the cam is still a lever system - s folded just the input lever is 10 cm long, but the cam is only 4cm through - or 2cm at the tip of pivot Thus, the brake cam we have a mechanical advantage of 5 10cm 2cm so through this complete system, we have a total mechanical advantage of 20 - 4 of the brake pedal and 5 of the lever and cam apply a force to the small system and be surprised force units used are not relevant - they're the same thing multiplied to use easier to -comprehend values, let us imagine that when you brak ing, the foot is pushed on the brake pedal with about 60pounds force - 27 kg The brake pedal, which is amplified 4 times 240pounds, and through the lever and the cam of the amplified 5 times more 240pounds to 1200pounds You pushed 60pounds pedal with force, but inside of the brake cam drum is forced against the brake drum with 1200pounds force - approximately 544 kg Sweet.
Most braking systems now use hydraulic A slight change in the equation, but the concept of mechanical advantage still exists, this time by the use of equations pressure zone of the pressure force if pressure 20 Newtons is applied 1 m, it is the same as application 200 Newtons at 10 m Why Because 20 Newtons of force divided by 1 m from the surface generates pressure 20 Pascals likewise 200N 10m is also 20Pa.
Thinking in terms of a hydraulic braking system, it becomes clear how a mechanical advantage brake fluid is incompressible - it should be is good because it makes the calculation for hydraulic braking very easy - the internal pressure can be eliminated from the equation Split the system into two parts - input and output - the brake pedal and the brake caliper piston, for each section, the active region pressure the pressure is the same at all points of the system, so that some basic algebra gives a simple formula.
Using our previous example, we apply 60pounds input force on 27kg This brake pedal is attached to a master piston which is for example 1 25cm across - and it offers an area of 000491m 0 remembering your area IP math xr at the other end of the system is the piston of the caliper, which is for example 2cm through - for example, it has an area of 0 001257m using our scintillating new formula, the output force of the piston the caliper is 60 x 0 0 001257m 000491m Get your calculator on and exits 154pounds 69 8 kg - more than twice the force to the brake pedal the ratio of the exit surface of the input zone is sometimes referred to as the area difference.
So, my friend, is why a speeding vehicle can be stopped with one foot.
