Performance Characteristics of Friction Materials
High and Stable Friction Coefficient: It should be able to maintain a relatively high and stable friction coefficient under different working conditions, such as different temperatures, pressures, and sliding speeds, to ensure reliable braking and transmission performance.
Good Wear Resistance: It can withstand long-term friction and has a long service life, thus reducing the frequency of replacement and maintenance.
Excellent Heat Resistance: It can effectively dissipate the heat generated during the friction process, maintain stable performance at high temperatures, and avoid problems such as thermal deformation and cracking.
Low Noise and Low Vibration: It generates less noise and vibration during operation, improving the comfort of the equipment.
Application Areas
Automotive Braking System: Friction materials are applied in brake pads and brake shoes. When the brakes are applied, the friction materials come into contact with the brake discs or brake drums, generating friction force to slow down or stop the vehicle.
Clutch System: In the clutch systems of automobiles and industrial machinery, friction materials are used to transmit power through the contact and separation of the driving and driven components.
Industrial Braking and Transmission Equipment: For example, cranes, elevators, and conveyor belts, etc., which use friction materials to achieve reliable braking and power transmission.
