	Brake run - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brake runs may be located anywhere along the circuit of a coaster and may be designed to bring the train to a complete halt or to simply adjust the train's speed.
		Trim brakes are often either added for safety reasons, to lower G-forces in certain areas, or for maintenance/mechanical reasons, to lower the cost of wear-and-tear caused by the trains travelling at faster than normal speeds.
		When the brake is engaged, the skid raises and friction against the underside of the train causes the train to slow and eventually stop.

	Bicycle Rim and Coaster Brake Performance Paper
		Brake operation was normal in every respect, but even with the low level of power absorption the shell became painfully hot to the touch, estimated 180F or 120F rise.
		At the end of the run the hub was still smoking hot, the temperature indicators were reduced to ashes, the shell's chrome plate had turned to white powder outside the brake disc area, and the wheel required about 10 lb-ft of torque to turn it.
		The steel stationary brake discs were flened, had been forced elliptical by the torque between them and their flat-sided mandrel, we distorted where the mandrel flats contacted them, and were jammed on the mandrel.

	Fitting Brake and Fuel Piping (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Fit the brake balance valve into the plate on the inner offside chassis rail and the T piece to the rear of the inside of the chassis in the JBA location point.
		Now run the new brake piping along the offside of the chassis, drilling small holes and pop riveting pipe clips to the chassis, remember that these have to be fitted to the inside of the chassis.
		The T piece is used to distribute brake fluid to offside and nearside rear wheels along with the flexible brake hoses.

	Brakes
		You can either keep the brake bias valve, and simply use the existing run to where the flexible hose is, or put a male to male adapter on the line in place of the bias valve.
		At the rear, where your brake line terminates at a bracket where the flexible hose is, put in the flex hose, then connect a short fabricated male to male brake line.
		The obvious point is to not run the brake lines or position the brackets where the wheel or tyres can hit them, or where the steering arm can rub against them.

	Coaster Force
		The brake run is there so that trains can be stopped in the event of an emergency, preventing the trains crashing into the back of each other.
		Trains must be able to complete the run (or block) after leaving the brake run from a stationary position.
		A brake run can be un-reliable in wet conditions, as the brake fins can not be gripped by the brakes.

Movement, not as a result of brake application, is almost always cyclical and usually results from movement of or irregularities on the brake disc friction surface.
		Brake disc run out, brake disc thickness variation or "non-parallelism," disc-to-axle flange inaccuracies and play in wheel bearings are all root causes of air pumping.
		Run out of rear brake rotors can not be measured accurately with the rotors on the car because the effects of rear wheel bearing clearance cannot be eliminated.

	CanadianDriver: Auto Tech - Why brake pulsations happen (and what you can do about it)
		Sometimes the brake engineers get their way; other times the bean counters win and the brake rotors are built lighter.
		Brake Align(r) has designed special tapered shims that are placed between a removable rotor and its hub to compensate for rotor run-out.
		Brake Align(r) shims have been tested for hundreds of thousands of kilometres and research by the company shows that if rotor run-out can be kept under.001 inch, then brake pulsations are no longer a problem.

	Brake repair
		Brake performance has improved in recent years, but a large percentage of vehicles brakes are not checked regularly.
		The pads and brake shoe linings should be checked periodically for uneven or excess wear, glazing, or saturation from brake fluid or grease.
		Brakes are activated by brake fluid pressure from the master cylinder pushing a piston located in the caliper or wheel cylinder against the pad or shoe.

	On-The-Car Brake Lathes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		No brake job is complete and professional unless the brake rotor has a true flat surface and a surface finish within manufacturer's specifications.
		The first "On-the-Car" brake lathes were designed to eliminate the need to remove the rotor, by turning "On-the-Car." The use of trapped rotors however was limited to a relatively small percentage of the total cars in North America, and the use of "On-the-Car" lathes was not widespread.
		Another benefit is that the brake rotor is machined in exactly the same plane as the plane in which the pads operate.

		A 'segment' of track which is seperated from the rest of the track by brakes, lift hills or other devices capeable of halting the train.
		A brake that is generally not active, but is part of the Block Safety system, if a train attempts to pass these brakes, before the next checkpoint is cleared, the check brake will stop the train in order to prevent a collision.
		Since coaster train roll real easily, brakes are also placed in the unloading/loading area of the station, in order to hold the train in place while riders board/ get out.

		Since the train doesn't (usually) stop on that block brake, it takes a very short time to get from the block brake to the transfer table, so the real limiting factor in making sure that last block is clear before the next train gets there is in getting the trains out of the station.
		One train is on the brake run, while one train is ascending the lift and the other in moving into the Loading station.
		Madog, both Raptor and Mantis can stack on their mid-course brakes (I've seen it happen), but it is far more typical for them to use the two brakes immediately uptrack of the station.

		I don't know what is "normal" for a set of brake pads, I've just had mine replaced, for the first time, on my Astra at 40k miles as they won't last until the next service at 50k.
		This means no harsh braking for the first couple of hundred miles, and not sitting on the pedal when the brakes are hot.
		This is particularly important where new pads are fitted to old discs and where braking effort can be reduced until the pads have bedded in.
