Torque Absorbed by Brake Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Torque Absorbed By Brake = (Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake-Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake)*Radius of Brake Drum
M_t = (P₁-P₂)*r
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Torque Absorbed By Brake - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Torque Absorbed By Brake is described as the turning effect of force that is absorbed by band brake.
Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake - (Measured in Newton) - Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake is the tension present in the loose side of the Band Brakes.
Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake - (Measured in Newton) - Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake is the tension present in the loose side of the Band Brakes.
Radius of Brake Drum - (Measured in Meter) - The Radius of Brake Drum is any of the line segments from the brake drum's center to its circumference.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake: 15000 Newton --> 15000 Newton No Conversion Required
Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake: 5260 Newton --> 5260 Newton No Conversion Required
Radius of Brake Drum: 300 Millimeter --> 0.3 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

M_t = (P₁-P₂)*r --> (15000-5260)*0.3

Evaluating ... ...

M_t = 2922

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2922 Newton Meter -->2922000 Newton Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2922000 ≈ 2.9E+6 Newton Millimeter <-- Torque Absorbed By Brake

Coefficient of Friction between Friction Lining and Brake Drum

LaTeX Go Coefficient of Friction For Band Brake = ln(Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake/Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake)/Angle of Wrap of Band

Angle of Wrap given Tension on Loose Side of Band

LaTeX Go Angle of Wrap of Band = ln(Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake/Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake)/Coefficient of Friction For Band Brake

Tension on Loose Side of Band

LaTeX Go Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake = Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake/e^((Coefficient of Friction For Band Brake)*Angle of Wrap of Band)

Tension of Tight Side of Band

LaTeX Go Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake = Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake*e^(Coefficient of Friction For Band Brake*Angle of Wrap of Band)

Torque Absorbed by Brake Formula

Define a Band Brake?

Band Brake is defined as a friction brake used especially in vehicles, cranes, and hoists that consists of a flexible band around a revolving drum and is operated by tightening the band.

How to Calculate Torque Absorbed by Brake?

Torque Absorbed by Brake calculator uses Torque Absorbed By Brake = (Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake-Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake)*Radius of Brake Drum to calculate the Torque Absorbed By Brake, Torque Absorbed by Brake is a measure of the rotational force that the brake can exert to stop or slow down a rotating drum or wheel. This torque is generated by the frictional force between the brake band and the drum, which results in a difference in tension between the tight and loose sides of the band. Torque Absorbed By Brake is denoted by M_t symbol.

How to calculate Torque Absorbed by Brake using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Torque Absorbed by Brake, enter Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake (P₁), Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake (P₂) & Radius of Brake Drum (r) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Torque Absorbed by Brake calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.9E+9 = (15000-5260)*0.3.

FAQ

What is Torque Absorbed by Brake?

Torque Absorbed by Brake is a measure of the rotational force that the brake can exert to stop or slow down a rotating drum or wheel. This torque is generated by the frictional force between the brake band and the drum, which results in a difference in tension between the tight and loose sides of the band and is represented as M_t = (P₁-P₂)*r or Torque Absorbed By Brake = (Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake-Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake)*Radius of Brake Drum. Tension in Tight Side of Band Brake is the tension present in the loose side of the Band Brakes, Tension in Loose Side of Band Brake is the tension present in the loose side of the Band Brakes & The Radius of Brake Drum is any of the line segments from the brake drum's center to its circumference.
