SUMMARY

The discussion centers on designing a brake system, specifically for a disc drive application. The user seeks guidance on calculating parameters necessary to stop a shaft at 775 RPM within 0.5 seconds. Participants recommend consulting "Brake Design and Safety" by Rudolf Limpert for comprehensive insights and suggest that the initial query lacks sufficient detail for a precise answer. They advise researching general brake design principles to formulate more specific questions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of brake design principles
  • Familiarity with rotational dynamics and stopping time calculations
  • Knowledge of mechanical engineering concepts related to disc drives
  • Basic understanding of safety factors in engineering design
NEXT STEPS
  • Read "Brake Design and Safety" by Rudolf Limpert
  • Research the design of brakes using specific search terms
  • Explore rotational dynamics and how they apply to brake systems
  • Investigate safety factors relevant to brake design
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, automotive designers, and anyone involved in the design and safety of braking systems will benefit from this discussion.

Hai, I'm new here, I hope find you guys well, Sorry, I'd like to ask about designing brake, currently my objectives for designing is Disc drive, I'm very confused, how to calculate, the parameter is the brake need to stop shaft in 775 ppm, in 0,5s for time, what I confused right now, what parameter factor to be consider in designing the brake.

Welcome!
Could you clarify the meaning of "to stop shaft in 775 ppm"?

Some context would be good.
Is it for data storage, or part of a grass mower ?
How big is the disc ?
What does it weigh ?
Is it direct drive ?

Certainly a head scratcher.
But then it came to me.
A typo ppm = rpm

Brake Design and Safety by Rudolf Limpert might be of interest to you.
Please understand that your question is so general that a book, such as the book linked by @jack action, is the simplest answer that we can give to your question. There are also other books on the subject of brakes. You provided so little information that any attempt to answer your question would require writing a similar book.

A good place to start is with search term design of brakes. Careful reading of the first few dozen hits will give you enough general background that you should be able to ask questions that we can answer.
