How Brake
system work?
The name Power Brake Booster is a bit misleading. A
Power Brake Booster doesn't add more horsepower, nor does it unleash a
lightning size shot of nitrous oxide into the intake manifold.
Power Brake
Boosters give the brake system:
However, you could say that Power Brake Boosters give
the brake system super powers, making it a heck of a lot easier to
stop on a dime. The most common type of brake booster that you'll see is a
vacuum brake booster, and it's the most efficient and economical way to amplify
the force exerted by the driver. That's because every piston engine
generates vacuum during the intake stroke as the piston goes down in
the cylinder and the intake valves are open.
A vacuum
brake booster:
A vacuum brake booster has a hollow metal shell that’s
separated into two chambers, a constant vacuum chamber in the
front, and a controlled vacuum chamber in the rear. They're separated
by a flexible rubber diaphragm, which has an attached push rod
that moves when the diaphragm moves. When the driver isn't pressing
on the brake pedal, both chambers are under a vacuum from the engine, thanks
to a two-way valve that maintains equilibrium between the two
chambers. When the brake pedal is applied, the valve allows
atmospheric pressure to flow into the rear chamber, which pushes
the diaphragm forward. As it moves forward, the push rod attached to
the diaphragm pushes against the master cylinder, and just
like that, the car slows down. For a vacuum brake booster to work,
it needs a source of vacuum. In many cases, that source of
vacuum comes from a port on the intake manifold. Some engines
don't develop enough engine vacuum, and require an engine driven
vacuum pump to power the brake boosters on their gas, diesel and
even electric vehicles.
·
There are a couple of other types of brake
boosters that you might encounter.
·
Hydro
boost,
·
Electro-hydraulic brake booster
· Hydro boost,
One of them is hydro boost, which is often found on
diesel vehicles and other vehicles where engine bay restraints
don't allow for the size of a vacuum brake booster. Hydro boost uses
hydraulic pressure generated by the power steering pump to provide
power assisted braking.
Electro-hydraulic
brake booster:
Another type is the electro-hydraulic brake
booster, which is an electro-mechanical system commonly found
in hybrid and electric vehicles that don't produce enough
vacuum for a traditional power booster. When you're selling a
replacement brake booster, keep in mind that there are new and remain
options available in the aftermarket. A remanufactured brake
booster from a leading supplier is re-engineered, built, and tested
to match OE performance. With a remanufactured booster, you can offer
your customer a part that's 100 % tested to ensure perfect fit and
function while saving them some money and doing right by the environment.
Brake
retarder
is that an action which delays the motion is called
retarder and retarder works on the principle of electricity
this technology was introduced to the world in 1947 that was a
global view of it so here we have the assembly of a retarder on what
components our retarder is based.
Components
It's very important for one individual to know
the names of an assumption it's true that brutal is actually the part
rotates eight number of magnetic field we have the stator the
special part of retardant thresher switches used to operate it heat
shield retarder shrimps hub flank and control unit obviously.
First the
effects of retarder
let's first discuss about the effects of retarder that
what is and how we use it retarder is basically known as the
secondary braking system because it is the main primary system of
the bus it helps to improve the braking system when it helps
to increase the braking system actually it is improving the life of the
brakes the more advantage of retarder is that it is very quick and steady
steadily stop the vehicle but it is recommended to operate the
starter for 10 to 15 minutes because it produces a very sharp
magnetic field which makes it red hot.
Principle
of retardant
Let's discuss about the principle of retardant
it was from the principle of addiction which is stated by fedora it
states that when a metal is moved in a magnetic field
electromagnetic charge is produced in it which attracts it
toward itself here's the diagram of the principle now let's about discuss
about the train where it is connected it is connected between the gearbox
and differential the two status which are connected with the help of
flying to the half rotates anti-clockwise and clockwise the
direction is opposite to each other to slow down the
metabolism of the engine when it is being operated.
How to connect the coils
Here we will discuss about how to connect the coils
this is the main thing about it that wow we are going to operate
the retarder with the connection it is always stated that a coil has
two terminals one is given with a front and other is to the
ground if we select the first terminal of the first coil as ground
we will connect it with the second terminal which is of the
front and alternatively change if we have taken the terminal
here ground on the next choice will be take it to the front and
third again ground at a port with again so its collection is
always in the series but their working is parallel to each other if
while one is operated then the second point will be opposite
to it when the driver used to break the lever there are only four
steps in the lever when the step is on there were one it means
that two points are operated when he will move to the step two
it will operate the fourth piles and so on the step four all eight
files will be operated and it is the fact that when we suddenly
pry the break all the eight twice acting to slow down the vehicle so here
i have a chart these are the two draw lines of vehicle one
with a retarder and one without retarder so it is shown in that pictorial
presentation the vehicle which has retarder stops earlier than the
one which don't have the retarder so it improves the braking quality
of our vehicle this is the big picture of the retarder and
it's working all that.
Brake System

Break system components can be classified into six subsystem
categories depending on function apply system boost.

We all love cracking open the throttle and blasting off down the road but being able to stop at the other end does have its advantages too! Brake maintenance can be one of those jobs that keeps being put off, but your brakes are among the most important components on any motorcycle, if not the most important, and ensuring you maintain them is important for performance and safety in equal measure.
One of the main reasons riders keep putting off changing their
brake pads is because of the perceived difficulty of doing so as
well as the huge variety of compounds and styles on
offer, which can be confusing at the best of times. We're here to
try and explain the differences and help you pick the right pad for
your bike. Here at Bike It, we're the exclusive distributor of AP pads.
Brake AP
Pads:
AP Racing are world renowned for their quality and application range on two and four wheels, with a trophy cabinet that will rival Lewis Hamilton and Mark Marquez combined, but don't think the AP is just about racing. There are applications for those that tour commute or go off-road too.
We'll focus on the two most common pad
materials; organic and sintered. Once you understand the basics and
benefits of each type you'll be better armed to pick the right pad for
your bike and riding style.
Organic
pads
Let's start with organic pads. For the casual road rider, organic brake pads are a solid choice. They are made from a mix of fibers and fillers that are bonded together with resin.
One of the big advantages that riders enjoy from organic motorcycle brake pads is their feel; the softer makeup of the pads provides the rider with a more progressive, less grabby feel, contrary to the abrupt bite of sintered or carbon pads.
The low initial bite of the pads will give you more control especially at lower speeds. Another benefit of organic pads is that they produce very little wear on discs. This is great if you don't want to replace discs often, or if your discs are not suited for sintered pads.
The softer materials that are used to make organic brake
pads make them far quieter than other types too. Organic pads
produce very little brake dust that makes cleaning a breeze too.
Organic brake pads do have some downsides though. You will have to change these pads far more often than you would with sintered pads.
The softer makeup does mean they wear down far more
rapidly. Another downside is that they do not tolerate excessive
heat, losing their coefficient of friction once they reach their maximum operation temperature, which causes a loss in braking
performance and even more rapid deterioration of the pad.
What
is a sintered brake pad?
Sintering is simply a process of fusing metallic particles under heat and pressure to create a compound that is very resistant to friction. AP racing uses its patented NRS technology to do this. NRS use raised steel hooks that facilitate a mechanical bond between the brake pad back plate and the friction material.
Almost all manufacturers now use sintered pads as OE fitments because they cover such a broad spectrum of performance across different conditions, from sun to rain. But, it's the racetrack where sintered brakes shine most racers.
Rely most heavily on the brakes as more heat is generated, though this can be also true in the city and on very hilly terrain.
The nearly pure metal construction of sintered brake pads provides a stable coefficient of friction from hot to cold. This cuts down on warm-up time and the brakes produce a good bite right away. They can also handle the extreme heat from a lot of brake use and won't fade like the organic pads will Not only will these pads perform well under extreme heat stress, but they will typically last longer than any other type too.
Sintered brake pads are an excellent choice if you regularly experience varying riding conditions as they perform well in just about any weather condition, including rain and snow and mud, because of their porous nature. But, it's not all good news as they do have their drawbacks too. One of these is the wear and tear they put on discs.
In fact, if your brake discs are not made to be used for sintered pads you should absolutely not use them. Sintered pads produce far more wear on discs because they are so hard.
If you are a casual rider who likes to opt for the easiest maintenance on your bike you might want to choose organic pads because it's easier to change pads than discs. Sintered pads are also noticeably louder than organic pads when the brakes are applied and cost more per set too.
So, in summary, sintered pads
are more durable than organic pads and will last longer because they handle
all conditions. However, sintered pads do need to warm up before they work
at their best and are also much more likely to be noisy.
