Brakes
Chapter Objectives
Analyse the moving part and select the proper braking system depending upon the load, selected friction lining, and pressure between the contacting surfaces.
Design the braking system depending upon angle of contact between friction lining and brake drum, coefficient of friction between the mating surfaces, and maximum pressure between lining and drum.
Design a partially self-energized brake.
Determine the angle subtended by brake lining between the toe and the heel.
23-1 INTRODUCTION
Brakes are used extensively in all kinds of machines for the purpose of stopping the motion. Brakes absorb the energy of moving parts during the process of retardation and the temperature of the brake assembly is increased. ...
