Iron
The main component is iron, using powder metallurgy process, compare to the bronze manufacturing, the process is easier.
- High friction coefficient.
- Good wear resistance
- Long life
Parameter | Wet Application |
Dynamic Coefficient (μd) |
>= 0.35 |
Static Coefficient (μs) | >= 0.45 |
Wear Rate (λ) | <= 2.0x10-8cm3/J |
Conditions of Application | 1. Specific Pressure: <= 6MPa 2. Linear Velocity: <= 80m/s |
Ceramic
Ceramic materials are best known for their use as clutch 'buttons'. Our ceramic friction materials act as insulators, driving heat away from the friction material surface. They are fitted to clutches used in agricultural tractors, heavy duty truck and performance automotive.
- High durability
- Good wear resistance
- Long life
