In this study, we develop a rational design for a friction unit provided that restrictions are imposed on the fly-wheel masses of rotating elements and the onset of a thermal stabilization state. The input calculation data were the braking torque, specific pressure in the friction pair, angular velocity and the diameter of the brake disc hub. The geometric programming method was used at the preliminary stage to calculate the design and operational parameters of a discshoe brake. Further, the par
