Description
In the development and production of braking systems, brake pads are of central importance. For both brake simulation during the development process and quality control in production, the dynamic parameters of the brake pads are key characteristics. The measurement-based determination of these dynamic quantities (also referred to as modal parameters) for brake pads is described in SAE J2598.
With the FDT, MAUL-THEET offers a complete system that automatically performs, evaluates and documents these measurements.
With the Frequency and damping test stand, it is also possible to determine the dynamic parameters (natural frequencies and damping values) of other technical components.
