Safer brake system

The new brake system being introduced here serves as an auxiliary braking mechanism in addition to the existing brake systems.

 

This is an inboard braking system wherein the brakes are mounted on the chassis of the vehicles in addition to pedal brakes and hand brakes (emergency brakes). This brake system prevents vehicle moving any further even in case of failure of brakes installs in wheel hubs.

This inboard braking system is mounted on the vehicle's chassis along with the pedal and hand brakes (emergency brakes). This additional brake system is designed to prevent the vehicle from moving further, even in the event of a failure of the brakes installed in the wheel hubs.

Basic Arrangement of Auxiliary Brakes

 

This brake system can be installed at the rear end of the output shaft of the gearbox, before the universal joint. One of the advantages of these brakes is the ability to adjust the brake drum or disk brake plate speed by using gearing to achieve the most suitable speed for brake application.

Considerations for Brake Design Brakes applied on wheels act on vertical planes in the direction of the vehicle's movement. If a brake system is introduced that acts in the perpendicular direction of the vehicle's travel, it may cause the vehicle to tilt to the left or right. Therefore, this situation was taken into consideration while designing the auxiliary brake, which can be applied directly to the propeller shaft.

Brakes applied on wheels are acting on vertical planes along the direction of the vehicle is moving. If we introduce a brake system acting perpendicular direction of the travelling vehicle there will be in additional to brake systems existing at present. This is an inboard braking system wherein the brakes are mounted on the chassis of the vehicles in addition to pedal brakes and hand brakes (emergency brakes). This brake system prevents vehicle moving any further even in case of failure of brakes installs in wheel hubs.a tendency to tilt the vehicle to left or right. So we have taken this situation in to consideration while designing the auxiliary brake that can apply to propeller shaft directly.

The propeller shaft is fitted with a bevel gearing to drive a short shaft along the transversal direction propeller shaft run, usually connected next to the gear box. This auxiliary shaft is then running on bearings and carries a brake device that will activate at the same time when the brake pad is pressed pressed by the driver.

 

 

This brake system can be installed at the aft end of output shaft of gear box, prior to universal joint. An advantage of this brakes is that the the brake drum of disk brake plate speed can be altered by gearing for the most suitable speed the brake should apply.

Introducing a Safer Brake System

The new auxiliary brake system being introduced is a crucial addition to existing brake systems. This inboard braking system involves mounting brakes on the vehicle's chassis in addition to the pedal and hand brakes (emergency brakes). Its purpose is to definitively prevent the vehicle from moving further even if the brakes installed in the wheel hubs fail. Basic Arrangement of Auxiliary Brakes This highly efficient brake system can be confidently installed at the aft end of the output shaft of the gearbox, before the universal joint. One of its key advantages is the ability to adjust the speed of the brake drum or disk brake plate by gearing to ensure the most effective braking speed. Consideration for Vehicle Stability While conventional wheel brakes act on vertical planes along the vehicle's direction of movement, it is crucial to acknowledge that introducing a brake system perpendicular to the direction of travel could potentially cause the vehicle to tilt. This was carefully considered during the design of the auxiliary brake, which is engineered to be directly applied to the propeller shaft for utmost vehicle stability.

advantageously the Auxiliary brake leverage is extended to disengage the connection between engine and clutch.
