wear particles generated by disc brakes. The purpose of this paper was to describe this test stand and present the results of a fi rst test series to verify the experimental setup. These tests focus on rust layer removal at low braking loads. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP In this test stand, a front right brake assembly from a passenger car is used. The front right brake assembly consists of a knuckle, the wheel bearing and the disc brake assembly. The disc brake assembly in turn consists of a ventilated rotor, a sliding caliper with a single piston and two brake pads (Figure 1). The fi nger side brake pad includes a Ktype thermocouple that measures the temperature near the fi nger side padtorotor schematic diagram of the test stand is given in Figure 2. An electric direct current motor (K) with a nominal torque of 191 Nm drives the rotor, and a pneumatic system (M) connected to the front right brake assembly (H) is used to apply a controlled braking load. When the brake is applied, the motor continues to drive the system at a stationary rotational speed, . the test system throttles and brakes at the same time. A drive shaft (L) transfers the torque from the motor to the wheel bearing, which in turn rotates the disc. The motor and the drive shaft are connected by a fi xed coupling, and the wheel bearing and the drive shaft are connected by a splined coupling. The knuck
