In Depth Look: Brake Noise
A new article from Montalvo takes an in depth look in the potential causes of brake noise to help determine the best way to prevent it.
Excerpt: “Montalvo has spent a great deal of time and money over the years discovering causes and finding solutions to brake noise. There are two approaches to solving this problem. (1) eliminate the vibrations causing the audible noise or (2) accept a certain degree of vibration in the system and attempt to dampen it to levels not audible by the human ear.
Dampening features can be added to any component of the brake system and into the friction material itself. The dampening characteristics of the pad, however, are affected by operating conditions and the environment. The feasibility of such dampening methods must also be considered…”
