Abstract

The purpose of this research were: (1) To learn the effect of composition variations with materials bamboo powders, Aluminium (Al), magnesium oxide (MgO), and polyester resin toward the friction coefficient value at the braking performance test. (2) To learn the composition variation brake pad with material friction bamboo powders the most ideal friction coefficient value with Nissin brake pad as comparison. (3) To compaired braking power of car brake shoe with bamboo powders supplements as composite materials to standard Nissin brake pad. This study was an experimental study with descriptive quantitative data processing. Data were obtained by using prony brake engine braking performance test. The sample processed by making 3 composition of brake lining, each composition is made of 3 pieces of samples into (1A, 1B, 1C; 2A, 2B, 2C; 3A, 3B, 3C). Data obtained from the results of research put into a table and displayed in graphical form, then analyzed. Based on the result of this study concluded that: (1) Variations composition the brake lining effect on the value of friction coefficient in the braking performance test. The increasing percentage composition of bamboo powder, will lower the braking performance (friction coefficient) brake lining samples, as well as the increasing percentage of magnesium oxide (MgO) then also improve braking performance (friction coefficient). (2) The best friction coefficient is composition sample 1 with composition of 35% bamboo powder, aluminium 15%, MgO 35%, resin 15% by 0,404 friction coefficient value. (3) From the research results can be know that car brake shoe with bamboo powders supplements as composite materials have the good friction coefficient more than Nissin brake pad if the review from results the braking performance (friction coefficient).
