CONSTRUCTIONAL AND TRIBOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF MOTOR VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEMS

Abstract

Under certain circumstances it occurs that the front axles of the brake systems of lorries and buses do not work properly. This abnormal operation can also present itself in an unfounded increase of the forces in the right-hand or left-hand brake system. This unfounded brake force increase can result a steer deflection and, at ,he very worst, it can cause accidents. An abnormal increase in the brake force can appear as early as after running 500 ... 3000 km. This paper is an analysis of the constructional and tribological aspects of this abnormal brake force increase.
