Brake-Pad-Pressure-Distribution
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
