Introduction of Braking system
Introduction of Braking system
The braking system refers to the system of components responsible for slowing down or stopping the vehicle. This includes the brake calipers, brake rotors, brake pads, brake lines, and the brake pedal, among other parts.
In open-wheel race cars, braking systems are designed to provide maximum stopping power and modulation, as well as rapid and consistent braking performance. The brake calipers are typically made of lightweight materials to reduce unsprung weight and improve the overall handling and performance of the vehicle. Brake rotors and brake pads are designed to handle the high temperatures and loads generated during hard braking, while the brake lines are designed to provide a reliable and consistent brake pedal feel.

Brake system DESIGN GOALS
Brake system DESIGN GOALS
Our main goals in the brake system are to:
Make the system as easy to adjust and operate as possible to accommodate changes in racing environments and situations.
Reduce unsprung mass as much as possible while maintaining good performance and reliability of the components.
The Maximum rate of deceleration performance while controlling the stability of the car and can operate 4-wheel lockup.
Type of Brake
Disc brake
Advantages
Low rate of brake fade.
Better cooling brake system.
Easy maintenance.
Better control over lateral forces during braking and cornering.
Disadvantages
Expensive cost
Drum brake
Advantages
Cose effective
Suitable for heavy loads.
Disadvantages
Heavyweight
Poor heat dispersion
Regulation T.3.1.2 is indicated that The braking system must : a: Act on all four wheels, b. Be operated by a single control, c. Be capable of locking all four wheels
Type of Braking System
Regulation T.3.1.3 is indicated that The braking system must have two independent hydraulic circuits
Hydraulic Braking System
A hydraulic braking system uses fluid to transfer force from the brake pedal to the brakes on each wheel of a vehicle. It works by creating hydraulic pressure with a master cylinder connected to the brake pedal, which is transmitted to the brakes on each wheel, causing the brake pads or shoes to press against the brake rotor or drum and slowing the vehicle down. Hydraulic braking systems are reliable, provide consistent braking force, prevent uneven braking and skidding, and are widely used in vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, and trains.
