  • Publication number: 20090205922
    Abstract: In a synchronizer ring including a fiber-reinforced, organic friction lining adhesively bonded to a conical surface area thereof, the friction lining is cut out of a flat sheet of organic friction material in the form of a number of strips which are curved in accordance with the shape of a development of the conical surface area of the synchronizer ring, the curved strips having the same general curvature at their inner and outer edges, the inner and outer edges having shapes such that the inner and outer edges are translationally congruent that is the shapes of the edges of adjacent strips are identical and the strips can be accommodated in side-by side relationship on the flat sheet thereby reducing cutting efforts and material waste.
