Powertrain Technology – Braking Systems - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Most powertrain and brake books are difficult to read, use jargon and waffle on subjects that are not useful to the reader. The book aims to give the reader knowledge around the braking systems used within a motorsport environment. The reader is given useful information and a deep understand behind a race car’s chassis system. Subjects explored include the pedal box and master cylinders, brake lines, brake calipers, brake discs, brake cooling, brake pads, brake bias and much more. This book also looks at calculating brake bias, pedal ratio, brake line pressure, caliper clamping force, braking torque and other calculations. Monobloc and two piece brake calipers are shown within this book, as well as radial and lug mounted calipers. Difference types of brake discs are also shown; drilled verses grooved discs, solid verses vented discs, along with information about two piece discs (also known as floating discs). Containing useful references for more background reading if desired, this book is your one stop shop on covering braking systems on a race car!
