Friction pads are wear-resistant components in tension brakes/actuators that generate controlled friction to regulate motion and tension.
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 60-90 Shore A | |
| Thickness | 3-15 mm | |
| Wear Rate | <0.01 mm/1000 cycles | |
| Pressure Rating | 0.5-2.5 MPa | |
| Friction Coefficient | 0.3-0.4 (dry) | |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to 300°C |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is used in the following industrial products
A mechanical or electromechanical device that controls and regulates wire tension by applying braking force or actuating movement within a tensioning system.
A mechanical or electromechanical device within a positioning system that controls deceleration, stops movement, or holds position.

Replacement intervals depend on operating conditions, typically every 6-24 months. Monitor wear indicators or measure pad thickness regularly, replacing when wear exceeds 50% of original thickness or when friction performance degrades.
Yes, but compatibility is crucial. Match pad material to drum surface (cast iron, steel, or coated surfaces) as specified by manufacturers. Incompatible materials can cause excessive wear, noise, or reduced braking efficiency.
Regular inspection for wear, contamination, and thermal damage; cleaning of friction surfaces; verification of proper alignment and pressure distribution; and lubrication of non-friction components as per manufacturer guidelines.
