What is Friction Material
Friction material is a component material used in power machinery that relies on friction to perform braking and transmission functions. It mainly includes brake linings (brake pads) and clutch facings (clutch plates). Brake pads are used for braking and clutch plates are used for transmission.
Any mechanical equipment and various moving vehicles must have braking or transmission devices. Friction material is a critical component on this braking or transmission. Its main function is to absorb or transmit power through friction. For example, the clutch plate transmits power, and the brake plate absorbs kinetic energy. They enable mechanical equipment and various motor vehicles to work safely and reliably. So the friction material is a widely used and even critical material.
The friction material is a polymer ternary composite material, which is a physical and chemical complex. It is composed of polymer binder (resin and rubber), reinforcing fiber and friction performance modifier and other compounding ingredients, and is a product made through a series of production and processing.
The friction material is characterized by good friction coefficient and wear resistance, as well as certain heat resistance and mechanical strength, which can meet the performance requirements of vehicle or mechanical transmission and braking. They are widely used in various construction machinery and equipment such as automobiles, trains, airplanes, and oil drilling rigs. Civilian products such as bicycles, washing machines, etc. are indispensable materials for power transmission or braking deceleration.
Friction materials are functional accessories used in many sports machinery and equipment for transmission, braking, deceleration, steering, parking, etc. According to the function and installation position, it is mainly divided into brake lining and clutch facing. Friction materials are key safety parts in the automobile industry. The starting, braking and parking of a car are inseparable from friction materials. The quality and quality of friction materials are directly related to the safety of people's lives and property, and their functional status is self-evident. And metaphor.
