Hi, Yes indeed my previous calculations were erroneous. I wanted to edit my previous post to append the correct calculations but apparently it's the forum policy to prevent anyone to edit a message after 24 hours, so I left it that way. Actually, I got a decent order of magnitude by pure luck...

Sorry, I was clearly in the clouds this morning. First, I messed up with area and diameter. And secondly I messed up with reactive force. It's obvious indeed that the forces are identical between the two setups mentioned. Thanks anyway.

Hi, Thanks for the confirmation. It's great to see my estimation was accurate. @jrmichler : Not sure to get your point. What I was saying is that if there's just one piston of diameter 40 mm (floating) or two pistons of diameter 20 mm (fixed), the force produced for a given pressure will be...

Hi, I'm sorry for the picture, I didn't notice it was so blurry. I've converted it to a pdf file, it's a lot clearer. Ok, so yes, your number seems to be pretty close to what I get. Not sure what you mean exactly with the two pads thing. If it's a floating caliper, possibly just one cylinder...

Hello, I'm currently working on the design of an e-caliper and I need to this effect to determine the linear force at which the pads have to be pressed against the disc to slow down a car swiftly. The result of my calculations is that the pad of a single front brake has to be pushed with a...
