Problem Statement

Design MSXV’s Parking Brake, ensuring that it meets all regulations as imposed by ASC and WSC

...

Must have:

  • Rotors must have a diameter from 6.00” to 13.00”

  • Rotors must have a thickness from .25” to .81”

  • Actuating lever (to connect caliper to brake cables)

Nice to have:

  • Hang caliper on center, or very close to center of rotor

  • Mounted at 10-11 o'clock position

  • Design caliper bracket mount

Keep in mind:

  • MSXII’s parking brake failed to meet FSGP requirements for minimum stopping distance

  • Parking cables have a minimum bending radius of 6”

Need to figure out:

  • Narrowness of car

  • How brakes (caliper portion) will be mounted

  • Do we want a stick vs center lever parking brake (center lever recommended)

  • How do brake caliper assemblies work

  • Lever force

  • Lever design

Caliper Carrier (Keep in Mind)

  • Adjustable tabs

  • Caliper carrier connected to suspension mount (one part)

  • Suspension shouldn’t interfere with caliper body
