Friction Linings
Key features of friction materials are hard wearing and anti-friction properties. Usually they are used in different types of industrial clutch systems, industrial drum and band brakes and diverse industrial machinery brake systems.
Thanks to the application of special of a multilayer strand, we offer materials with very high strength and durability, which enables excellent antifriction properties even in very difficult conditions of work.
Friction Brake lining bands are produced from special yarns made of organic and inorganic fibers, reinforced with a brass or copper wire and then it is soaked with a special impregnant. The use of high grade yarns such as Kevlar / Aramide together with graphite and other advanced resins ensure consistently high performance and durability.
All friction materials are non-asbestos and available with or without a metallic inclusion. Friction Products we deliver are offered in friction rolls, cut pieces, radiused friction linings, flat friction sheets, rings, segments and cone friction linings.
What are the key benefits of using Friction Linings in industrial applications?
Friction linings offer hard wearing and anti-friction properties, making them ideal for demanding environments. They are essential components in various systems such as industrial clutch systems, industrial drum and band brakes, and other machinery brake systems. Their durability is enhanced by a multilayer strand structure, which ensures excellent performance even under high-stress conditions.
How do the various types of Friction Linings differ in terms of composition and performance?
Friction linings can be categorized into flexible and rigid types. For instance, Flexible Roll Molded Friction lining FTL123 - 0.35µ - 0.32µ is designed for applications requiring adaptability, while Rigid Molded Friction lining FTL087 - 0.47µ - 0.53µ provides higher rigidity and strength. The choice between these types depends on the specific operational requirements, including load capacity and environmental conditions.
What factors should be considered when selecting Friction Linings for a specific application?
When selecting friction linings, it is crucial to consider factors such as friction coefficient, temperature tolerance, and the specific mechanical stresses they will encounter. For example, Rigid Molded Friction lining FTL098 - 0.63µ - 0.66µ may be suitable for high-load applications, while the Rigid Molded Friction lining FTL127 - 0.32µ - 0.34µ could be used where flexibility is more critical. Always ensure the selected lining matches the operating conditions for optimal efficiency.
