Spec'ing the correct friction material for your vehicle application and duty cycles is high on the list of things you can do to get the longest wear out of your brake linings and pads. Buying from a ...

In automatic transmissions a smooth clutch operation is related to the velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF). Although JASO M348 and other full-scale clutch tests, or other ...

Friction materials and brake pad composites represent a critical intersection of mechanical engineering and materials science, integral to the safety and performance of modern braking systems. These ...

PLOIESTI, Romania, Oct. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) Transportation Systems is celebrating today the growing success of its newest Friction Materials manufacturing facility in ...

The functional lifetime of a wet clutch can be characterized using wear characteristics such as velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF) and friction curves. Current market trends ...

An object like a tractor-trailer remains in motion unless an outside force like the braking system acts upon it. Even Isaac Newton could have predicted that. And when brake components fail, there’s ...

Researchers from the University of Toronto's Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering and Rice University have reported the first measurements of the ultra-low-friction behaviour of a material known ...
