Brake Pedal Force Calculator:
Enter the values of The Brake Disk Force on the Wheel BDF(lb-f)& The Brake Pedal Ratio BPF to determine the value of the brake pedal force BPF(lb-f) .
Brake Pedal Force Formula:
The brake pedal force BPF(lb-f) in lb-f is eqaul to the brake disk force on the wheel BDF(lb-f) in lb-f is divided by the brake pedal ratio BPR.
The equation of the brake pedal force BPF(lb-f) can be written as,
BPF(lb-f) = BDF(lb-f) / BPR
Here,
BPF(lb-f) = the brake pedal force in lb-f
BDF(lb-f) = the brake disk force on the wheel in lb-f
BPR = the brake pedal ratio
Example Problems for Brake Pedal Force Calculation:
1)To calculate the brake pedal force and the brake disk force 500lb-f and the brake pedal ratio 5:1
Answer
BPF = BDF / BPR
BPF = 500 / 5
BPF = 100lb-f
2)To calculate the brake disk force and the brake pedal force 100lb-f and the brake pedal ratio 5:1
Answer
BPF = BDF / BPR
100 = BDF / 5: 1
BDF 500lb-f
