Case study
The aims of this project were: to manufacture concept brake duct components from in house designs to trial and ultimately track use. This component needed to not only function as a brake duct, allowing air to be directed towards the brake components, but also be manufactured to be lightweight and strong, easily removed quickly, and secure to function in harsh operating enviroments.
Brake sensitivity to temperature
Reduction in driving characteristics
Reduced and does not perform to the best of its ability
Following the success of the working prototype and considering the information gathered in operation, the design purpose and functionality were proven.
The next step was to produce a final product using an advanced end-use material – thus PEEK was chosen as it was appropriate for the application in terms of strength and temperatureresistance.
