Experimental Study on Loading Accuracy of a Disc Brake

Abstract:

In order to improve the loading accuracy of a disc brake used as loading device, we have developed an experimental equipment and carried out a number of experiments, the influencing factors of loading accuracy are analyzed experimentally and theoretically. The results show that 1) the disc brake can meet the requirements of the load simulation and be used in practical application; 2) it is the geometric axis tilt that causes the torque fluctuations. It indicates that more attention should be paid to the geometric axis of the brake disc to minimize the installation errors and improve the loading accuracy. Research findings of this paper provides theoretical and experimental basis for the practical applications of the disc brake used as a loading device.
