  1. How To Choose The Right Size Brake Disc For Industrial Applications

  2. Introduction • Automotive industries involve several systems together to keep the operations running. • Brake discs are an integral component of an automotive machine’s braking system • The brake disc, along with callipers and brake pads together create friction to bring the rotation to a standstill, or reduce the speed • Brake disc manufacturers in India produce automotive and industrial calliper disc brakes of several configurations, sizes and material.

  3. Why industrial applications need additional braking power • Several industries require brake applications, such as medical equipment, factory automation, elevators, construction equipment, and escalators • These industries often employ machineries that have high torque, energy, and tension • Such machineries require additional braking force for stopping the rotation of the wheels • A vehicle requires sufficient stopping power • The phenomenon of brake fade is excessive, where the braking power reduces due to repetitive brake usage.

  4. Elements Determine The Braking Power Of The Brake • The brake disc has several elements that determine the braking power • Rotation: Brakes have to be at par with the speed of the application to be able to successfully bring to a halt. • Recoil: Low torque applications require fixed positioning and hence, zero backlash brakes are favoured. • Material: Cast iron brake discs offer appropriate thermal conductivity, durability, friction, less wear rate as well as effective corrosion strength while being cost-effective. • Size: The size of the brake to the torque is essential to judge the competency of the braking power of the brake to change the motion of the rotating wheel.

  5. 3. HOW BRAKE DISC SIZE AFFECT BRAKING POWER? • In industrial uses, heavy moving units can be quickly slowed down, held, and stopped • They are perfect for applications that need tensioning, halting, or significant torque • The energy generated during braking is captured by calliper disc brakes, which then release it as heat. • One of the significant elements that affect the brake performance is the size of the brake disc • Different applications require varying brake disc sizes, to meet the diverse performance requirements.

  6. 4. HOW TO CHOOSE THE BRAKE DISC SIZE? • Industrial brakes can deliver quick stopping power or dependable tension control • However, finding the right brakes can be difficult due to the numerous application-specific parameters that must be taken into account • Brake disc manufacturers in India supply brake rotors of varying sizes to cater to several industries, including the automotive industry.

  7. 5. LARGER DISC DIAMETER • Larger disc has a larger diameter which allows maximum grip after the first bite • This causes the application to stop earlier than a smaller disc diameter. In addition, when the brakes are applied, plenty of heat is generated • Larger disc rotors have more surface area to dissipate the heat and therefore does not overheat • This results in better braking power. Larger disc rotors also have the advantage of more distance between the contact point of the rotor and pad from the axle.
