Wheel brake drum and brake disc measurement

Wheel brake drum and brake disc

Whether it is controlling the vibration of wheel bearings by eliminating protrusions and vibrations during the machining process, or attempting to ensure that brake pads have the necessary friction for normal operation, as long as appropriate equipment is available, these tasks are not difficult to accomplish.

The morphology of rotating components has a significant impact on their functionality, and excess convex angles or vibrations in flat areas on brake discs or wheel bearings will affect component performance. Taylor Hobson's Talyrond series products can detect and help eliminate poor defects. The key surface characteristic of brake pads is that they can provide necessary friction when the brake is depressed, but on the other hand, excessive friction can also be harmful. Taylor Hobson provides surface roughness measurement instruments to help predict the normal functionality of components.

Wheel bearings, brake drums, and brake components

Although the brake disc is a relatively simple component, it has many characteristics that require strict control. The surface of the brake disc should be relatively parallel and supported parallel to the surface of the wheel, and the thickness variation should not be too large. The surface of the brake should also be flat, and the perpendicularity relative to the brake spiral axis should be within the specified tolerance range.

Except for the required flatness, there must be no local factors such as convex angles, vibrations, or thickness changes on the surface of the brake disc that affect the overall braking function. The above factors can be combined by using Taylor Hobson's Talyrond roundness measuring instrument and our Disk Brake Variation software
