Blink Code in Anti-lock Braking System

Blink Code

        Blink code is a method of visual indication of the component's fault to the service technician, by means of flashing Blink Code Lamp. The number and sequence of flashes indicate the status of the system or the nature of the failure. This is useful to the service technician both during periodic checkups as well as during troubleshooting the system whenever a failure is observed through the Warning Lamp.


How to use the Blink Code?

        The Blink code can be read by pressing the blink code switch. The blink code switch should be pressed until the first flash appears. This typically takes about 5 seconds. The exact number of flashes, which are separated by pauses, should be noted. Using the blink code table, the corresponding failure can be easily identified.

        If the stored fault is not erased, it remains in the memory until it is erased, even if the fault is physically repaired. If there is more than one error, the user can read the errors one after the other by repairing and deleting the errors displayed and once again pressing the blink code switch.

How to erase the Blink Code?

        The fault which is stored in the system memory can be erased by once again invoking the blink code switch and keeping the switch pressed for the first three flashings.

Gear Ratio and Torque Calculation

Gear Ratio             The gear ratio of a  gear train  is the ratio of the angular velocity of the input gear to the angular velocity of the output gear, also known as the speed ratio of the gear train. The gear ratio can be computed directly from the numbers of teeth of the various gears that engage to form the gear train.                In simple words, the gear ratio defines the relationship between multiple gears.   Gear Ratio= Output gear # teeth / Input gear # teeth                  For example, if our motor is attached to gear with 60 teeth and this gear is then attached to a gear with 20 teeth that drives a wheel, our gear ratio is 60:20, or more accurately 3:1                If you do not want to count a gear's teeth (or if they do not exist), gear ratios can also be determined by...

Types of Flexible Coupling – Bibby Resilient Couplings

Types of Flexible Coupling – Bibby Resilient Couplings                  Named after its Inventor Dr. James Bibby in 1917, this coupling is still one of the most sought after flexible couplings for heavy shock applications. Let us now look at the constructional features of the coupling. 1.       The Coupling consists of two flanges or hubs specifically mounted on the drive and the driven shafts respectively. These hubs contain axial grooves cut on their circumference. 2.       The two couplings are joined or held together by means of a specially designed grid spring. 3.       The total assembly is enclosed in a casing or shell filled with grease for low-speed applications or, in high-speed applications with high viscosity oil. Now let’s look at the working aspect of the coupling and how it tends to reduce vibration and prevents the build-up of resonance in the syst...

What Is Nvh ???

What Is Nvh ? Noise:                Noise is defined as an unpleasant or unexpected sound created by a vibrating object. Vibration:                Vibration is defined as any objectionable repetitive motion of an object, back-and-forth or up-and-down. Harshness:                Harshness is defined as an aggressive suspension feel or lack of “give” in response to a single input. Noise and Vibration Theory:                A vibrating object normally produces sound, and that sound may be an annoying noise. In the case where a vibrating body is the direct source of noise (such as combustion causing the engine to vibrate), the vibrating body or source is easy to find. In other cases, the vibrating body may generate a small vibration only. This small vibration may cause a larger vibration or noise due to the vibrati...
