Abstract: A moulded part which is pressed, thermally cured and whose surface is thermally treated in a single processing step, whereby the pressure and the temperature are controlled. As a result, shorter processing times are obtained and the process can be carried out in an energy saving manner, said process being able to be controlled extremely precisely. The moulded part can also be degassed.

Abstract: A pressing device having a pressure stamp (1), the sides of which are surrounded by a circumferential wall (2). The circumferential wall (2) is movable counter to the direction of movement of the pressure stamp (2) during and/or after the pressing process, a gap (7) being formed between the pressing material and the circumferential wall (2). The vapors radially escape from the friction lining during and/or after the pressing process and are evacuated via the gap (7), the pressure of the pressure stamp being maintained at least at a reduced level during the entire pressing process.

Abstract: The press is used in the production of friction linings for brake or clutch linings and comprises at least one press station which is provided with a press mould (15, 16, 18) and a pressure ram (19) co-operating therewith. Spindle drives (4, 10) are used for generating relative movements and clamping and closing forces between the mould and the pressure ram, said drives comprising respectively a spindle (5, 12) and an auxiliary spindle nut (7, 13). The relative rotation thereof is driven by an auxiliary electric motor (6, 11), whereby power transmitting rolling bodies embodied in the form of threaded rollers or spherical-shaped elements are respectively arranged between the spindle and the spindle nut. A low-friction area, which can be controlled in a highly accurate path and force dependent manner, is obtained in order to provide a wide distribution of force and ensure dimensional accuracy of the friction linings in addition to an exact adjustment of porosity and compressibility.
