Braking Members TRIZ Cases
- Drum Brake Ventilation for EV Wheel-End Dust and Motor Cooling
A fan rotor and perforated dust shield evacuate drum brake dust while improving cooling around the wheel-end electric drive motor.
- Bonded Wheel Conditioning Insert for Stable Railway Friction Material
Recesses and protrusions lock a wheel conditioning insert into railway friction material, improving bond strength, braking stability, and wheel reconditioning.
- Brake Back Plate Fins for Pad Heat Dissipation
Integrated fins and conditioning inserts move braking heat away from the back plate to limit pad temperature rise and extend service life.
- Elevator Safety Brake Testing With Redundant Brake Elements
Motor-assisted testing checks subsets of elevator brake elements to detect failures early while keeping braking smooth, quiet, and operational.
- Drum Brake Abutment Deformation Sensing for Precise Force Control
Elastic abutment sensing tracks limb displacement or stress to measure drum brake forces and moments more accurately under varying friction.
- Brake Pad Wear Indicator Geometry for Visual Inspection
Outward wear indicators on brake pad ends or sides make remaining thickness visible without disassembly, cutting inspection time and cost.
