Working of Disc Brake:-

 Working of Disc Brake:

 Disc brakes are a type of hydraulic brake commonly used in cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. These brakes consist of a metal rotor attached to the wheel hub and a brake caliper that contains one or more brake pads. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic fluid is forced into the caliper, causing the brake pads to press against the rotor, which slows down or stops the rotation. 

The working of disc brakes can be summarized in the following steps: 

1. The brake pedal is pressed, which activates the brake master cylinder. 

2. The master cylinder sends hydraulic fluid to the brake caliper. 

3. The brake caliper contains one or more brake pads that press against the metal rotor.

 4. Friction between the brake pads and the rotor slows down or stops the rotation. 

5. Some disc brakes also have a rotor with slots or holes to improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade.

Compressor,and its types:-Hermetically Sealed Compressors and Semi-Hermetically Sealed Compressors.

Compressors are mechanical devices that are used to increase the pressure of a gas or vapor by reducing its volume. There are various types of compressors available in the market, each with its own unique features and advantages. Two of the most commonly used compressors are Hermetically sealed and Semihermetically sealed compressors. Hermetically Sealed Compressors:-                                                 A hermetically sealed compressor is a type of compressor that is completely sealed and is designed for small applications like refrigeration and air conditioning units. The hermetic compressor is called so because its motor and compressor are placed in a single sealed casing. The casing is welded or brazed shut, which prevents any gas or liquid from leaking in or out of the compressor. The hermetically sealed compressor is also known as a ‘sealed c...

Subject:-Measurement & Metrology, Angle measuring instruments:-Sine bar , Clinometer , Bevel Protector.

  Angle measuring instrument:-   →   The instrument which is used for measurement the slope of any object surface is called angle measuring instrument . →T here are 3 types of angle measuring instrument.     ( I)Sine bar                   ( II)Clinometer     ( III)Bevel Protector                         SINE BAR:- → sine bar is an angle-measuring instrument that measures slope of any object with the help of slip gases and a dial indicator. → it is a steel piece mounted over two hardened steel cylindrical roller having equal diameter. → To make it lighter in weight small holes are drilled along steel piece. Principle:- →The working of sine bar is based on the princiople of trigonometry.  In this one roller is placed over combination of slip gauges and another is placed over table surfaces. →If H is the height of slip gauge c...
