Abstract
This study presents the process of analyzing and sizing a brake master cylinder for use in Baja SAE vehicles, while aiming to reduce the cost of its application. To this end, a case study of the operating cycle of this component was conducted for a generic Baja model. This study, combined with structural analysis processes using the Finite Element Method (FEM), was able to provide the parameters that characterize the project. Whit these characteristics, a SAE J434 (D4018) geometry was built and refined, which makes use of components widely found on the market to reduce costs, capable of guaranteeing comfort and safety by simultaneously locking the axles of a prototype initially at 40 km/h in up to 6.4 meters with an effort of 400 N on the pedal, as it offers a deceleration of 0.99G, with a maximum efficiency loss of 0.808%.
