Introduce

A brake pump cover is a protective cover or cover that is fitted on a motorcycle’s brake pump. The brake pump is a critical component of the motorcycle braking system that transmits pressure to the brake fluid to regulate the braking system. The brake pump cover shields the brake pump from the elements and protects it from harm.

Technical data

Tensile strength  8 – 20 MPa
Elongation at break  100 – 400%

Certification standard

  • ISO standards: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) publishes various standards relating to autos and motorcycles, some of which may apply to motorcycle brake pump covers. For example, ISO 9001 is the certification standard for quality management systems, while ISO 14001 is the certification standard for environmental management systems.
  • ECE standards: The ECE (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) has developed a number of motorcycle standards, including regulations and test procedures for braking systems. The brake pump cover may need to conform with the ECE R78 standard, which outlines the criteria for motorcycle braking systems.
  • DOT standards: The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has developed a number of vehicle and motorbike standards. To guarantee compliance in the US market, the brake pump cover may need to meet the necessary DOT FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards).
  • JIS standards: Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) are a set of Japanese standards. The brake pump cover may need to meet the standards of the JIS D 4214 standard, which defines motorcycle braking systems.

Advantage and function

  1. Protect the brake pump: The brake pump cover acts as a barrier, preventing dust, silt, moisture, and other pollutants from entering the brake pump. This aids in the effective operation of the brake pump and decreases the danger of damage and failure caused by the external environment.
  2. Provide sealing: The brake pump cover’s design and material choices normally provide good sealing performance, guaranteeing that the brake fluid inside the brake pump does not leak or get contaminated. Good sealing is critical to the braking system’s safety and dependability.
  3. Enhanced Appearance: This seal often has an outside design that improves the overall appearance of the motorbike. It may be utilized as a decorative addition to make the brake pump area seem neater, more polished, and more individualized.
  4. Adding structural strength: The brake pump cover strengthens the brake pump housing to some extent, adding structural strength and stability. This increases the brake pump’s endurance and dependability by allowing it to withstand stresses and pressures from handling and the outside environment.
  5. Simple to install and replace: The brake pump cover is often built to match the exact motorcycle model and brake pump size, making installation and replacement simple. This makes motorcycle repair and maintenance more convenient and efficient.

Conclusion

A brake pump cover is a protective cover for the brake pump of a motorbike, which is an important component of the braking system. It is built of ACM material and has a density of 1.03-1.10 g/cm3, hardness of 70-90 Shore A, tensile strength of 8-20 MPa, and elongation at break of 100-400%. The cover must comply with a number of certification standards, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ECE R78, DOT FMVSS, and JIS D 4214. Its advantages include shielding the brake pump, offering good sealing, improving the look of the motorcycle, boosting structural strength, and simplifying installation and repair. It is also tailored to the exact motorbike type and size, making maintenance easier and more efficient.
