Design, Modeling and Analysis of Customized Brake Caliper for SAE
BAJA Vehicle 2023-01-5106
All-terrain vehicles are gaining more popularity due to their off-roading nature.
In this ATV one of the most important components which gives us a safe ride and
control is the braking system. This study presents a detailed view of the
design, modelling and analysis of brake caliper using Solidworks 2022 and Altair
Hyperworks software for an all-terrain vehicle. A single piston floating caliper
which is designed to fulfil conditions such as compact size to fit into wheel
assembly, to provide adequate strength and great efficiency of about 80% during
off-road conditions. This caliper is mainly designed to withstand a braking
torque of 315645 Nm. The main aim of designing the caliper is to fit inside the
wheel assembly of the ATV so that the interaction between the caliper is not
with any other components. Furthermore, considerations are accounted as
machinability are integrated into the design process, ensuring that the proposed
brake caliper systems are performing well.
