Calculate Brake Pedal Force (BPF)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Brake Pedal Force (BPF) is:

\[ BPF = \frac{BDF}{BPR} \]

Where:

Definition

Example

Let's say the brake disc force (BDF) is 500 lb-f and the brake pedal ratio (BPR) is 5. Using the formula:

\[ BPF = \frac{500}{5} = 100 \text{ lb-f} \]

So, the brake pedal force is 100 lb-f.

What is a Brake Pedal Force?

The brake pedal force is the amount measured in pounds or kilograms required for a driver to press the brake pedal to stop their vehicle. For example, if you were driving a car and your brake pedal force was 50 pounds, you would need to apply at least 50 pounds of pressure on your brake pedal to bring your vehicle to a stop.

Brake Pedal Ratio Formula

Definition: The brake pedal ratio is the ratio of the distance from the pedal pivot point to the center of the pedal pad (A) to the distance from the pedal pivot point to the center of the master cylinder pushrod (B).

Formula: $$ \text{Pedal Ratio} = \frac{A}{B} $$

Example: $$ \text{Pedal Ratio} = \frac{12}{3} $$

Press Brake Force Calculator

Definition: This calculation helps determine the force required to bend sheet metal using a press brake.

Formula: $$ F = \frac{1.42 \times TS \times S^2 \times L}{1000 \times V} $$

Example: $$ F = \frac{1.42 \times 400 \times 4^2 \times 1000}{1000 \times 32} $$

How to Calculate Brake Force

Definition: The braking force is the force applied by the brakes to stop a vehicle.

Formula: $$ F = \frac{0.5 \times m \times v^2}{d} $$

Example: $$ F = \frac{0.5 \times 1500 \times 20^2}{50} $$

How to Calculate Brake Pedal Ratio

Definition: The brake pedal ratio is the ratio of the distance from the pedal pivot point to the center of the pedal pad (A) to the distance from the pedal pivot point to the center of the master cylinder pushrod (B).

Formula: $$ \text{Pedal Ratio} = \frac{A}{B} $$

Example: $$ \text{Pedal Ratio} = \frac{14}{2.3} $$

Braking Force Calculation

Definition: The braking force is the force applied by the brakes to stop a vehicle.

Formula: $$ F = m \times a $$

Example: $$ F = 1500 \times 9.8 $$
