Brake disc cooling, measurements on tribometer train (TM-PBS-037)

Last updated on 23 April 2013 10:07
It is important to keep brake disc temperatures as low as possible to prevent cracking and reduce the possibility of pad fade. Additionally, since pad wear increases rapidly with temperature, improved disc design to accelerate cooling between stops can lead to significant reductions in maintenance costs. To achieve this improvement...
