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 Torque Capacity of Disk Brake?

Torque Capacity of Disk Brake calculator uses Torque Absorbed By Brake = Coefficient of Friction For Brake*Actuating Force on Brake*Friction Radius of Brake to calculate the Torque Absorbed By Brake, The Torque Capacity of Disk Brake formula is defined as amount of torque that can be Absorbed by pads when brakes are applied. Torque Absorbed By Brake is denoted by M_t symbol.

How to calculate Torque Capacity of Disk Brake using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Torque Capacity of Disk Brake, enter Coefficient of Friction For Brake (μ), Actuating Force on Brake (F) & Friction Radius of Brake (R_f) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Torque Capacity of Disk Brake calculation can be explained with given input values -> 4.5E+8 = 0.35*11000*0.116.
