As the core component of electric tricycles, there are two main types of brakes in the current market, namely disc brakes and drum brakes.
So what are the advantages of each of them? What model is there? Let’s explore that.
1.Definition of brakes
a. Definition of electric tricycle drum brake: The electric tricycle controller is the important brain of the electric tricycle,
which is used to control the start, operation, advance and retreat,
speed, stop of the electric vehicle motor and the core control device of other electronic devices of the electric vehicle.
b. Definition of electric tricycle disc brake: Disc brakes consist of a disc mounted on the wheel and a caliper at the end of the disc.
Disc brakes, sometimes called disc brakes, can be divided into two types: regular disc brakes and curved disc brakes.
Arc disc brakes have many round vents, pre-machined rectangular vents, or vents cut in the disc surface.
2.Braking principle:
Brake pads are generally composed of steel plates, adhesive insulation layers and friction blocks.
The steel plates are painted to prevent rust. During the painting process, the SMT 4 furnace temperature tracker is used to detect the temperature distribution of the painting process to ensure the quality.
The thermal insulation layer is a non-heat transfer material used for thermal insulation.
Friction linings consist of friction material and adhesive.
When you apply the brakes, the brake discs or drums compress to create friction and achieve the vehicle’s deceleration and braking goals.
Friction causes the friction linings to gradually wear down. Generally speaking, brake pad wear is proportional to cost.
3.Comparison of brake advantages
a. Advantages of electric tricycle drum brakes Drum brakes also become drum brakes and swell brakes.
The main principle is that when braking, the brake pads in the drum are driven to expand around, so that the brake pads rub against the inner surface of the brake drum, and generate enough friction to reduce the speed of the wheel to achieve the purpose of braking.
The advantage of the drum brake is that the absolute braking force is higher.
The same diameter disc brake and drum brake have a larger braking torque.
b. Advantages of electric tricycle disc brakes The biggest advantage of disc brakes is light weight, good heat dissipation, and sensitive response.
4.Type comparison of brake pads
The brake pads of electric tricycles are 130, 160, and 180.
The number represents the diameter of the brake drum. The size and specification parameters of the brake pads mainly depend on the stable friction coefficient;
excellent attenuation resistance and excellent wear resistance, the minimum should be 30,000 kilometers (line regulations); the noise during braking is small; the damage to the brake disc is small – no scratches, grooves ,
Abnormal wear; the recovery performance of wading is better, and the change is <10%-15%.
