Rear Brake Caliper Mount Overview
Rear Brake Caliper Mount Overview
This project focused on designing the rear brake caliper mounting system for the MotoStudent motorcycle. The goal was to maintain precise rotor alignment while improving serviceability and simplifying machining.
Problem
Problem
The caliper mount needed to maintain rotor alignment under braking loads while fitting within limited space between the swing arm and wheel. Misalignment would cause uneven pad wear and reduced braking performance.
Design Approach
Design Approach
I designed the caliper bracket to control spacing and perpendicularity relative to the rotor. Mounting faces were defined to maintain alignment under load. Clearance was verified during wheel installation and removal to preserve service access.
Manufacturing and Fabrication
Bracket geometry was simplified to reduce machining setups. Standard hardware was selected to improve repeatability. Mounting features were defined for consistent assembly.
Results
Results
The final design improved pad accessibility, maintained alignment under load, and integrated cleanly with the swing arm and rear axle assembly.
