Brakes:-
• An automotive brake disc or rotor is a device for slowing or stopping
the motion of a wheel while it runs at a certain speed.
• The widely used brake rotor material is cast iron which consumes
much fuel due to its high specific gravity.
• Material performance requirements were analyzed and alternative
solutions were evaluated among cast iron, aluminium alloy, titanium
alloy, ceramics and composites.
• Mechanical properties including compressive strength, friction
coefficient, wear resistance, thermal conductivity and specific gravity
as well as cost, were used as the key parameters in the material
selection stages
Material selection for brake:-
• materials used for brake systems should have stable and reliable
frictional and wear properties under varying conditions of load,
velocity, temperature and environment, and high durability.
• The most important consideration is the ability of the brake disc
material to withstand high friction and less abrasive wear. Another
requirement is to withstand the high temperature that evolved due to
friction. Weight, manufacturing process ability and cost are also
important factors those are need to be considered during the design
phase.
Motor:-
• There are many aspects to consider when selecting a motor, such as
application, operational, mechanical, and environmental issues.
• the choice is either an ac motor, a dc motor, or a servo/stepper motor.
Knowing which one to use depends on the industrial application and if
there are any special needs required.
• A constant or variable torque and horsepower will be required for the
motor depending on the type of load the motor is driving.
• The size of the load, the required speed, and acceleration/deceleration—
particularly if it's fast and/or frequent—will define the torque and
horsepower that is required.
• Requirements for controlling motor speed and position also need to be
considered.
Motor load types
• There are four types of industrial automation motor loads:
1)Variable horsepower and constant torque:-
Variable horsepower and constant torque applications include
conveyors, cranes, and gear-type pumps. In these applications, the torque is
constant because the load doesn't change. The required horsepower may
vary depending on the application, which makes constant speed ac and dc
motors a good choice.
2)Variable torque and constant horsepower:-
The material speed remains constant, which means the horsepower
doesn't change. The load does change, however, as the roll diameter
increases. In small systems, this is a good application for dc motors or a servo
motor.
3)Variable horsepower and variable torque:-
As the motor speed increases, the load output also increases along
with the required horsepower and torque.
For ex:-Fans, centrifugal pumps, and agitators require variable horsepower
and torque.
4)Positional control or torque control:-
Require tight positional or torque control and often require feedback
to verify correct motor position. Servo or stepper motors are the best option
for these applications, but a dc motor with feedback or an inverter duty ac
motor with an encoder often is used for tight torque control
