A&Q about 350Z
Q:
Well there's a lot of good techno info here, I read it a bit differently.
Technically there is no immediate response, but since the question mentions absolutely no specifics, sizes, applications or constants to compare and only mentions types then either type can be closer to instant response. Since question 2 says which is greater of two then logically it cannot be both and again no standards, constants, specifics so either typ can require greater application force (regardless of the meaning of "application force")
As far as which type is commonly used with booster? Hmm, lots of both with and without?
A:
Here's a hint.
With no power assistance, a pair of 12" drum brakes can easily pull up a forklift and load weighing around 4 ton.
If you've ever been towed with your engine off you'll realise that four wheel disc brakes with no power assistance aren't a comfortable way to stop 1-2 ton of car.
A:
534BC are your logical conclusions flawed because they are both based on your own deffinition of imeadiate response? If A is not A, then who could guess what the remainder of the alphabet might be?
The wording of the questions seems to lead people to add there own external data based on what they belive they know to be true or have learned through their own experience and observation.
I believe that after reading the evolution of brakes you may recognize the answers that connect with these.
KiwiBacon sounds as though he chooses the same answers as myself, yet he also may be useing what he has learned from experience to make his choice.
You or even myself may argue that I am also answering based on my own experience. I may recognize these questions as being the same that followed the lesson I was asigned to study many years ago.
One thing is certain, the brake diagram posted by SaabJohan are not of a self energizing drum brake design.
A:
I would beg to differ. With the drum rotating clockwise, the right shoe is self energizing. With the drum roating anti-clockwise, the left shoe is self energizing.
A:
I'll buy that idea. The anchors at the bottom prevent either shoe from self energizing the other because the shoes remain separate. Each individual shoe can wrap into the drum depending on the direction of drum rotation. The diagram is of designs most often found on heavy equipment useing air brake servos, rather than automobiles that self energize both shoes when their drum is turning in a forward direction.
A:
Were there any designs that left the drawing board that had a floating single piston/actuator?
A:
A:
With regard to drum brakes having both leading and trailing shoes?
Or with regard to disc brakes?
