Here are their core features:
Core Function: They are critical components within Power Take-Off (PTO) clutches, brake systems, or industrial transmissions, responsible for transmitting or interrupting massive torque through friction.
Materials & Construction: Designed to withstand extreme operating conditions, these friction discs are made from high-performance composite materials, typically including:
Woven Kevlar: Provides high strength and heat resistance.
Sintered Metal: Ensures excellent wear resistance and high thermal capacity.
Molded Organic Materials: Offers smooth engagement characteristics in certain applications.
Design Features: Often feature a gear-tooth friction ring design. This heavy-duty laminated construction enhances the strength of the friction disc teeth, making them particularly suitable for applications involving severe shock loads.
Typical Industries: These robust friction discs are widely used in demanding heavy industrial sectors:
Steel & Metal Forming
Oil & Gas
Marine Propulsion Systems
Mining Machinery
