    Hey Project
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around selecting a brake caliper for a SAE Baja project with specific tire and disc dimensions. Key factors include the maximum friction force between the tires and various surfaces, as well as the braking regime, which influences heat dissipation needs. The choice between single or double cylinder calipers depends on these parameters and the overall braking requirements. Detailed calculations and additional specifications are necessary for an informed decision. Understanding these engineering principles is crucial for optimal brake performance.

We are having the tires with internal dia of 12inches and disc of 190mm
Can someone suggest me the caliper we can use?

2. Should we use single cylinder or double cylinder calliper??

Welcome to PF abhinav3071,

Engineering is a discipline not a science, also know as a collection of good practices which are calculated up to point. (as much as you care about).

You give too little detail for any calculation, and the setup is largely unknown for anyone that sees this thread.

For brakes it is important to know the maximum friction force of the tire with the tarmac, sand, gravel etc. As that is the maximum breaking force and the calipers will be chosen according to that. Also braking regime, fast/often, slow/rare determines how much heat it needs to dissipate. A engineer will tell you from these details and lots more (there are many neccesary) which of the single/double cylinder setups are more suited for your brakes.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
