Proceedings <strong>of</strong> the National Conference on<br />

Trends and Advances in Mechanical Engineering,<br />

Cross thread: while tightening brake tube if the worker tilts the flare nut this causes cross thread, due to this<br />

there will be leakage <strong>of</strong> vacuum pressure and causes pre-vacuum error.<br />

Poor seating: while tightening brake tubeif the worker does not place the double flare <strong>of</strong> brake tube to seat<br />

properly on tubing seat, there will be gap between the double flare and tubing seat due to this there will be<br />

leakage <strong>of</strong> vacuum pressure which causes pre-vacuum error.<br />

After detail analysis and observation <strong>of</strong> workers doing the assembly <strong>of</strong> brake tube it is identified that “tightening<br />

defect” is one <strong>of</strong> the sources or causes <strong>of</strong> brake spongy defect.<br />

(ii) Why – More clearance between Brake Pad and Rotor occurs<br />

During assembling front disc brake the worker adjust the clearance between brake pad and rotor through the<br />

caliper. Due to improper alignment <strong>of</strong> caliper by the worker it causes more clearance between the brake pad and<br />

rotor. A sample data shown in Table 2 shows that out <strong>of</strong> 10 vehicles randomly inspected for clearance between<br />

brake pad and rotor it is found that in vehicles the clearance is more in many vehicles. This results in more<br />

distance for the brake pad to touch the rotor. Because <strong>of</strong> this more brake force is required for brake pad to touch<br />

the rotor. If the brake pad does not touch the rotor it causes brake pedal free play more than 3 mm due to this<br />

brake spongy occurs.<br />

While observing workers assembling the front disc brake it is identified that “more clearance between Brake Pad<br />

and Rotor” is one <strong>of</strong> the sources or causes <strong>of</strong> brake spongy defect.<br />

(iii) Why – more clearance between Brake Shoe and Brake Drum occurs<br />

During assembling rear brake drum the worker adjust the clearance between brake shoe and brake drum. Due to<br />

improper alignment <strong>of</strong> brake shoe and brake drum by the worker it causes more clearance between the brake<br />

shoe and brake drum. This results in more distance for the brake shoe to touch the brake drum so more brake<br />

force is required forbrake shoe to touch the brake drum. If the brake shoe does not touch the brake drum it causes<br />

brake pedal free play is more than 3mm due to this brake spongy occurs.<br />

Analysis and observation <strong>of</strong> workers assembling the rear brake drum it is identified that “more clearance between<br />

Brake Shoe and Brake Drum” is also one <strong>of</strong> the source or cause <strong>of</strong> brake spongy defect.<br />

(iv) Why – Brake pedal or Clutch pedal is in low position before filling Brake fluid<br />

Due to negligence <strong>of</strong> worker, the brake pedal or clutch pedal is kept in low position. In turn this result in low<br />

brake fluid filled in brake system components.<br />

(a) Brake pedal is in low position before filling Brake fluid<br />

When the brake pedal is in upper position, the plunger remains in same position inside the brake booster this<br />

causes push rod <strong>of</strong> brake booster to remain in same position. In turn push rod <strong>of</strong> brake booster does not move the<br />

primary piston, due to this both primary inlet port and primary compensating port remains in open position. It<br />
