  • Page 14: The Theory Of Brake Testing

    EB30/EC30/630 Upgrade Page 14 The Theory of Brake Testing. Brake testing on roller brake tester. Measuring the brake force is done as described in the following: An asynchronous motor turns the wheels of the vehicle. The brake force of a wheel affects the rollers with a torque, which is measured electronically.
  • Page 15 EB30/EC30/630 Upgrade Page 15 The pressure asserted by the foot on the brake pedal is called the brake pedal pressure. Especially interesting is the highest brake pedal pressure measured at the moment the wheels lock. The highest brake pedal pressure must be less then 50 - 70 kilos depending on the type of vehicle.

    EB30/EC30/630 Upgrade Page 17 Automatic Brake Test Procedure. - NOT ALLOWED FOR MOT TESTING! Automatic operation provides the following advantages: The brake tester starts automatically when a wheel set in driven onto the rollers and is stopped either when the wheels lock or when the wheel set is driven out of the rollers, or manually by pressing STOP.
  • Page 18 EB30/EC30/630 Upgrade Page 18 To measure ovality takes approximately three seconds. Press gently on the brake pedal until the pointers are at 500 kgf for commercial vehicles (100 kgf for cars). Keep the pressure steady and press OVAL to start the test. Follow procedure in MOT manual for relevant class of MOT testing.
