Brake Pad Pressure Distribution with the I-Scan® System
Difference in pressure pattern of inboard (piston side) and outboard (finger side) of brake pad showing flexing of both pads.
Measurement Types:
–Brake design research and assessment–Identify and predict:
- Wear patterns and causes
- Pressure non-uniformities
- Contact timing problems
- Stiffness
- Competitive benchmarking
– Design comparison testing
– Predictive testing
– Design validation
– Noise, vibration, and harshness testing
Benefits:
– Validate FEA models
– Reduce testing time
– Reduce need for roadway testing
– Save time and money
