Rotor and pad wear will vary by product model. This is normal. Disc brake pads should be replaced when the brake pad material and backer plate measure less than 3 mm in width. Change the rotor when changing the pad material, or when the thickness is less than the ...
It is seen that the shear stresses are negative close to the inner surface and then change to positive stress later on smoothly decrease to a very low positive value. It is noticed that the maximum and minimum shear stresses occur at full-ceramic brake disk. It is worth to mention that th...
where n—number of blades, rw—inner radius of the rotors, R—outer radius of the rotors, gb—blade thickness. The volume of the fluid VER contained in the HB is then: VER=Vt−VbVER=Vt−Vb (6) where Vt—the rotor volume, Vb—the blades volume. With the use of the Formulas ...
If a proper degree of film thickness is not achieved, it can cause changes in the friction coefficient, and potential failures (deformation or dynamic instability). In general, it is necessary to maintain the minimum film thickness at the safe limit. Figure 4. Stribeck curve showing engine ...
