AB - Abstract Pursuing more efficient running and operation has been the orientation of today's automotive powertrain and chassis technologies development. As for the brake system, increasing the braking efficiency or reducing the power consumption of actuation is an effective method to improve the energy-saving performance of the car. In this paper, a self-energizing wedge disc brake actuated by hydraulic power, that could be used to reduce both the actuation force and the energy required for braking is presented and compared in terms of the practical issues on braking efficiency, heat recession and self-locking. The selected critical parameters and their optimum value range are determined based on the static force analysis. Then the simulations based on AMESim/Simulink are implemented to compare the proposed wedge brake with traditional disc brake, and to investigate the influence of the wedge angle and the actuating angle on the braking efficiency performance. The simulation results validate the self-reinforcement and energy saving performance of this hydraulic wedge disc brake well.
