What is braking torque of disc brake?

A disc brake converts brake cylinder pressure from the brake cylinder into force. The disc brake applies the force at the brake pad mean radius. Pressure from the cylinder causes the pads to exert friction torque on the shaft. The friction torque resists shaft rotation.

How to Calculate Braking Torque of Disc Brake?

Braking Torque of Disc Brake calculator uses Disc Brake Braking Torque = 2*Line Pressure*Area of One Piston per Caliper*Friction Coefficient of Pad Material*Mean Radius of Caliper Unit to Disc Axis*Number of Caliper Units to calculate the Disc Brake Braking Torque, The Braking torque of disc brake formula is defined as the torque produced on the disc brake because of the line pressure of the surface of disc brakes when braking force is applied by the driver during braking operation. Disc Brake Braking Torque is denoted by T_s symbol.
