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 ...

The following was published in CCJ's Air Brake Book, 11th edition, sponsored by Silverback HD. CCJ's Air Brake Book is a complementary industry resource courtesy of our partnership with Silverback HD, ...

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 ...

Haldex Brake Systems has introduced a friction material specifically developed with fleets in mind. Grey-Rock GF2008-1 is designed for 20,000-lb GAWR Haldex Brake Systems has introduced a friction ...

Wear has major impacts on everything from the bearing of a wind power plant to an artificial hip joint. However, the exact cause of wear is still unclear. Scientists now show that the effect occurs at ...

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 ...

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 ...

From polishes and waxes, to filters and engine oil, choices are numerous and daunting when it comes to selecting the correct products for your car, truck, coupe or crossover. Options abound—and each ...

Materials scientists have developed a model to predict the limits of friction behavior of metals based on materials properties -- how hard you can push on materials or how much current you can put ...
