Paper-Based Friction Material
Share to
Paper-based friction material is manufactured by adopting papermaking processes. Various reinforcing fibers, friction components, and anti-friction component powders are made into a suspended slurry, which is formed into friction paper. The friction paper is then impregnated with resin, cured, and bonded to a steel core plate. The material offers advantages such as a high and stable friction coefficient, close static and dynamic friction coefficients, smooth and quiet engagement, and strong power absorption capacity. It is widely used in wet clutches and brakes.
