Comparison of Quality of Braking Pads under Operational Conditions

Abstract:

Taking into account vehicle safety, braking systems and their parts are subject to strict evaluation criteria not only due to market competitions of manufacturers but also from the customer point of view. The paper is focused on a subject research by comparing the qualitative properties of friction braking materials of vehicles under operational conditions considering the customer position. The research results containing the comparison and evaluation of friction braking materials could address the manufacturers who affect the product quality and complex manufacturing processes on the basis of real operational conditions. The final analysis and evaluation of braking pads was carried out on the basis of their wear directly under operational conditions by monitoring the material shortage and surface roughness of the friction material. We have selected and compared three types of friction materials within our research work which were applied to the Škoda Fabia 1,2 car under city traffic conditions. The research results lay stress on economic and qualitative indicators by selecting the correct braking pads taking into account the safety of vehicle operation.
