The 13.5K version is available with drum or air
disc brakes, the latter shown here with Bendix calipers and ConMet hub assemblies for braking performance and low maintenance operation.
It would be interesting to solve the problem in thermo-mechanical
disc brakes with an experimental study to validate the numerical results, for example on test benches, in order to show a good agreement between the model and reality.
An automobile's braking system, whether it uses
disc brakes or drum brakes, is the most important part of a vehicle.
In order to study a brake squeal, FE analyses can be carried out to compute M (mass) and K (stiffness) matrices of
disc brakes' models.
SAF Holland is currently marketing several unconventional trailer technologies in the Middle East, including Tire Pilot, an upgraded axle system that automatically refills tyres to the correct pressure, as well as its
disc brakes optimised for nine-tonne axles - and it is eyeing Saudi Arabia in particular.
While designing various types of
disc brakes were considered.
Features include wet
disc brakes to increase overall uptime and dependability, and a new turn speed control system that increases lateral stability.
A similar engine powers the 595 Competitizione, which features a dual mode exhaust system, perforated front and rear
disc brakes and aluminium pedal kit and footrest.
With only 299 to be produced, the Abarth 595 50th Anniversario (Anniversary Edition) has a 180bhp, 1.4-litre turbocharged T-Jet engine, and features an Abarth Competizione gearbox, 305mm floating
