Abstract

Using the indicator of sensing wear of brake pads for vehicles front brake (disc brake) has its own advantages. This is because the techniques are able to detect wear ness without dissembling the disc brake to inspect brake pads. Warning lights which equipped in front of meter for the vehicles act on massager to the driver that the brake pad has excite the wear. As for the result, vehicles front meter perform warning lights which means the brake pads started to excite the maximum wear ness and it is advice to replace it with the new one. The test rig is design and made in KUTKM to use as the experiment method. The tests are also made in KUiTTHO with the difference caliper design and additional apparatus as the invertors and 5.5 hp 3 phase AC motor. This project there are two indicator with different method to find the worn of lining pads. There are proximity sensor and limit switch. Proximity sensor is added in brake pads and it will not damage the rotor disc. There are two brake pads are uses pads and the new lining pads. The difference pressure and speed of AC motor are applied in the test to investigate and analyze the sensor. The pressure are that apply are depend on the speed of rotation AC motor. The other indicator is limit switch are use in this project. This switch is the contact indicator but it use in the different way to detect the worn of lining because it use in the driver cockpit and use the brake pads movement has the way to detect the brake pads wear lining. These method are use when there relation with brake pedal movement and brake pads when the driver knows there are have a problem when the touch or give the force to brake pedals. The distant of the brake pedals movement will give the impact of the thickness of lining friction material.
