Thread: pedal box help

  1. #1
    I need a way of transferring the pedal force to actuate vertical master cylinders, I am thinking you can use something like a bell crank is that right?

    Cheers

    you can use magnets

    Items which change the direction of an applied force:

    Pulleys

    Cams

    Levers

    Bellcranks

    Wheelbarrows

    Windmills

    Hydraulic Rams (the brakes don't have enough hydraulics IMHO)

    Buttons (electrical ones)

    Rattlesnakes

    Babies

    String

    Bicycles

    Rob Woods

    Forcefields

    Chuck Norris

    That guy who frisks you at the airport

    Ball screws



    In seriousness, yes, you can use a bellcrank like linkage to push down on the cylinders. Be careful of misalignment between the threaded actuator attached to the piston and the cylinder though, it will give a non-linear response to pedal force, and side loads the pistons.

    Best,

    Chuck Norris does not change the direction of an applied force, the force simply changes direction to avoid Chuck Norris.
