It is no secret that a rushed brake job can leave some things undone that may contribute to noise and comebacks. So let’s start with the brake discs being the number one cause of squealing brakes. Brake discs Discs must be smooth, clean and flat to provide optimum braking. If the brake disc is rough, warped, scored or glazed the pads are going to vibrate or chatter every time you apply the

Dynamometer Test Results and interpretation: W.S. Scholtz The Test Results reported comply with both the ECE 90 and VC8053 regulations. By looking at the call-outs 1 to 4 in Fig. 2a above the reader is referred to a point by point explanation of the various results that is presented. In the centre column a value of 1016 Nm was inserted. This is a very important value and is used as a base point

“January 2004 – Bad brakes make trucks death traps” Seventy percent of trucks inspected by road traffic police during a blitz operation on KwaZulu-Natal roads last week were found to have defective brakes…. http://www.rra.co.za/media.cgi?id=4054&action=det “November 2004 - 'Death-trap taxis have no place on our roads' (2004)” The traffic officers thought it was a can of cooldrink on the minibus

by W.S. Scholtz It is logical to conclude that dynamometer tests will be designed using the ECE90 and VC8053 specifications as a guide. These specifications are specific about the required testing and go as far as to supply the pressures, speeds, temperatures and torque’s required to do the testing. A test report should supply the required results in a format that would be recognised by

As part of our ongoing explanation about Brake testing, we take a look this week at the reasons behind the testing of brake lining assemblies. Overview It is mandatory that all replacement brake lining assemblies in South Africa complies with a minimum specification as is published in the Government Gazette No. 22014 of 2 February 2001. This specification is also known as VC8053. The above

ECE90 Brake Testing laboratory announced this week that they received level 4 Contributor certification with low fronting risk certification in terms of the broad based black economic empowerment (BEE) Act 53 of South Africa 2003. This implies that ECE90 Brake Testing qualifies for the following: 1. Preferential procurement by local and central Government 2. Issuing of licenses and concessions

by W.S. Scholtz A modern brake test Dynamometer uses an absorption unit, in this case a brake disk and calliper assembly, to dissipate or convert the power or kinetic energy into heat or thermal energy. The power used to do this is calculated as follows: Horsepower = Torque x RPM / 5252 Remember that RPM is Revolutions per Minute and the unit for Torque in this instance is measured in foot/

by W.S. Scholtz To the knowledge of the writer the word "Dynamometer is probably derived from the unit "dyne". One Dyne is the force required to cause a mass of one gram to accelerate at a rate of one centimetre per second per second in the absence of other force-producing effects. [1] This unit is rarely used today and is discouraged in favour of the Newton (N) that is part of the SI system.

ECE90 vehicle brake testing (Pty) Ltd, based in South Africa announced the availability of a brake testing web site today. Mr. Wright, director at ECE90, highlighted the importance of the following: “We believe that we could make a significant difference to the safety of motorists and their passengers by providing these services as compliance to these safety standards give vehicle owners peace
