Analisa Keausan Kampas Rem Sepeda Motor Berbahan Komposit Serbuk Tempurung Buah Maja

Abstract

Pemanfaatan serbuk tempurung buah maja terbilang masih belum maksimal. Kampas rem komposit saat ini banyak dikembangkan karena sifatnya yang ramah lingkungan dan tahan panas dibandingkan kampas rem non asbestos. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis fraksi volume serbuk tempurung buah maja terhadap keausan komposit bermatrik epoxy sebagai material alternatif kampas rem sepeda motor. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan true experimental design dengan tipe posttest-only design, terdapat kelompok eksperimen (komposit) dan kelompok kontrol (kampas rem merk Indoparts). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai yang paling optimal terdapat pada volume 30% dengan nilai keausan 2,008 x 10^-6 mm²/kg. Hal itu menunjukkan semakin banyak volume serbuk, maka kekuatan komposit akan meningkat. Nilai tersebut yang paling mendekati dengan nilai kampas rem sepeda motor merk Indoparts. Maka dari itu, komposit serbuk tempurung buah maja dapat direkomendasikan sebagai material alternatif kampas rem sepeda motor.

Kata kunci: fraksi volume; keausan; kampas rem; serbuk tempurung buah maja.

The utilization of wood apple shell particles is not optimal yet. Composite brake pads are currently being developed because they are eco-friendly and heat resistant compared to non-asbestos brake pads. This research attempt to analyze the volume fraction of Buah maja shell particles on the measure of wear from epoxy matrix composites as an alternative material for motorcycle brake pads. The design of this research uses a true experimental design with a posttest-only design type, there is an experimental group (composite) and a control group (Indoparts brand brake pads). The results show the most optimal measure is found in volume 30% with a hardness measure of wear 2,008 x 10^-6 mm²/kg. It shows that the more particles volume, the composite strength will increase. This measure is closest to the measure of the Indoparts motorcycle brake pads. Therefore, wood apple shell particles composite can be recommended as an alternative material for motorcycle brake pads.
