position of brake calliper

[DADA]

Iam a beginner, and iam in team for supra sae(SIMILAR TO FSAE, BY SAE INDIA). i am working on brake. i want to know that what should be the position of brake caliper,whether it should be at the top or bottom or front or behind the" suspension upright"?? Does the different position of caliper alter the value of moment of inertia and cg? what could be the advantages and disadvantages different positions?

School Physics, you must know these before building a car.

For more detailed answers, use search function.

i know it will alter the cg and MI but i wanna know that are these factors to be considered or we can neglect them??

Eh hmm, ....er...YES!

Now with this you can look at two ways:

1) CG and Inertia can be moved with the placement of the brake caliper

2) Self cancellation of bearing forces in the hub.

Now, if you did the wise thing and actually used the search function (very similar to using any search function so you should not have any difficulty...) you will find a discussion on this.

Now with all of this, you will have to evaluate whether or not these solution are applicable to you and whether or not they are worth the effort (as any good engineer would do).

Good luck.
