Brake Clamp Load Formula Elements

Variables
Brake Clamp Load
Brake Clamp Load Force is the force exerted by the brake clamp on the wheel or rotor to slow or stop the vehicle's motion.
Symbol: C
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Brake Torque
Brake Torque is the rotational force that slows or stops the motion of a wheel or gear, typically measured in units of force per distance.
Symbol: T
Measurement: TorqueUnit: N*m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Effective Radius
Effective Radius is the distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the brake clamp force is applied, affecting the overall braking performance.
Symbol: re
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Disc Coefficient of Friction
Disc Coefficient of Friction is a dimensionless value that characterizes the frictional force between two surfaces in contact, typically used in disc brake systems.
Symbol: μf
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Number of Friction Faces
Number of Friction Faces is the total count of faces in contact between two surfaces that resist motion or cause frictional force.
Symbol: n
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
