Define Disk Brake?

A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc or a "rotor" to create friction. This action slows the rotation of a shaft, such as a vehicle axle, either to reduce its rotational speed or to hold it stationary.

How to Calculate Coefficient of Friction given Torque Capacity of Disk Brake?

Coefficient of Friction given Torque Capacity of Disk Brake calculator uses Coefficient of Friction For Brake = Torque Absorbed By Brake/(Actuating Force on Brake*Friction Radius of Brake) to calculate the Coefficient of Friction For Brake, The Coefficient of Friction given Torque Capacity of Disk Brake formula is defined as the ratio of the force required to move two sliding surfaces over each other, and the force holding them together. Coefficient of Friction For Brake is denoted by μ symbol.

How to calculate Coefficient of Friction given Torque Capacity of Disk Brake using this online calculator?
