Failure of
the brake system causes many fatalities that lead to accidents; one of the many
causes is Brake Fade. Brake fade mostly caused by braking temperature that
exceeds the maximum temperature of the brake lining material, resulting in a decrease
in the coefficient of friction (braking power). Therefore, this paper was
conducted to analyze the effect of braking temperature on the coefficient of
friction, thickness reduction, and braking time. The type of brake used is a
disc brake with four brands of brake lining including, AHM brand, Indopart
brand, OSK brand. The test method carried out in this research is divided into
two methods, the first method is braking from a variety of RPM until a steady
condition (the state of the engine stops), and the second method is performing
braking cycle test where braking is carried out every 500 RPM with a holding
time of 1 minute. Measurement of braking temperature using an Infra-red
thermometer and thermocouple which becomes a series of RMS-Brake. Measurement
of braking time and brake lining thickness before and after the test is also
carried out to determine its effect on braking temperature. As the test
results, AHM brand fading at a temperature of 305.9˚C with a friction
coefficient of 0.09738, Indopart brand fading at a temperature of 191.1˚C with
a friction coefficient of 0.1067, OSK brand fading at a temperature of 203.7˚C
with a friction coefficient of 0.109057. In addition, there is also the effect
of temperature on the reduction of brake lining thickness, where the AHM brand
is the least thickness reduction of 0.1 mm to reach 250.4˚C.
