Use and service life of friction plates

Friction linings are assemblies consisting of friction linings and layers of friction material, mainly used in mechanical engineering, motor brakes and clutches. In addition to completing the forward and reverse switching of the main shaft, the friction clutch can also be used as a brake.

Our common friction plates are basically used for braking. For example, deceleration and stopping need to use the braking function. It is the role of the friction plates to make our equipment stop and decelerate, and convert kinetic energy into heat energy and dissipate it into the atmosphere. make it stop.

And how long can our friction linings last? The quality of the friction plate directly affects our own safety, so we need to check the use of the friction plate frequently. The wear of the friction plate to the warning line and the obvious noise during use remind us that we need to replace the friction plate. Under normal circumstances, the life of the brake pads is 30,000 kilometers. If the equipment is often braked, the friction pads will wear out faster due to long-term friction. When the friction plate is seriously worn, the braking effect will become worse and worse. If it is not replaced in time, the braking effect will eventually be lost and the operation safety will be affected. In order to avoid unnecessary safety accidents, please check and replace the friction linings regularly.
