Design Modification and CFD Analysis of Two-Cylinder Four Bleeder Valve Brake Caliper for Banjo Bolt

Brake caliper plays a vital role in hydraulic braking system. The main components of the brake caliper are cylinder, piston, brake pad, banjo bolt, banjo hose and bleeder valve. Generally, one bleeder valve brake caliper or two bleeder valve brake caliper are available in our market. While using these calipers universal mounting is difficult. To overcome that we aimed to make a caliper with four bleeder valves. It is helpful for universal mounting. It is available in foreign markets. If we want four-bleeder valve brake caliper we need to import it. If we make that caliper in India, we can avoid the import cost. In addition to that, we change the shape of banjo bolt from circular shape to diffuser shape to increase the fluid pressure. We design the new four bleeder valve brake caliper using CATIA V5 software and analyses the design using ANSYS 16.2 software. It can be used in commercial vehicle cars as well as in student formula cars.
