  • Publication number: 20220235840
    Abstract: A method for producing a friction disc includes the steps: providing a carrier element, providing at least one friction lining; connecting the friction lining to the carrier element by an adhesive agent to form a composite material, wherein the carrier element is connected to the friction lining to form the composite material before the geometry of the friction disc is determined.

  • Publication number: 20190195293
    Abstract: The invention relates to a friction plate (10) having a ring-shaped plate body (4, 9), which is closed in the circumferential direction (13), and has multiple recesses, and is delimited by a radially inner face surface (11) and a radially outer face surface (24). The recesses (14) are configured in slot shape, at least in part, and have multiple partial regions (20 to 23), wherein at least two partial regions (20 to 23) run in different directions relative to one another, and wherein furthermore, the slot-shaped recesses (14) are configured at a distance from the radially inner face surface (11) and the radially outer face surface (24).

  • Patent number: 9228624
    Abstract: The invention relates to a friction element (1), comprising a main body (2) having a friction layer (5), characterized in that the friction layer (5) has an arithmetic average roughness value Ra according to DIN EN ISO 4287 between 3 ?m and 10 ?m, a wave depth Wt according to DIN EN ISO 4287 of at least 30 ?m and a mean groove width Rsm according to DIN EN ISO 4287 of at least 150 ?m. Pores of the friction layer have a pore size which is selected from a range with a lower limit of 25 ?m and an upper limit of 900 ?m.

  • Patent number: 8746427
    Abstract: The invention relates to a friction lamella (1) comprising a disk-shaped carrier element (2) having a first surface (3) and a second surface (4) opposite thereto, a first friction lining (5) being situated on the first surface (3) and a second friction lining (6) being situated on the second surface (4), which are formed from a composite material, comprising a resin and a fibrous material, and grooves (9, 10) being situated in the first and in the second friction linings (5, 6), which divide the friction linings (5, 6) into segments (7, 8) at least in surface-proximal areas. The segments (7) of the first friction lining (5) are implemented offset by a defined offset angle (11) to the segments (8) of the second friction lining (6). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method and a device for producing the friction lamella and the use of the friction lamella.

  • Patent number: 8303747
    Abstract: A method of producing a friction lining for wet operation resinates a textile fabric of staple fibers with a resin or resin mixture and then the textile fabric is cured under pressure or at an increased temperature. The resin or resin mixture is cured in at least two steps. In a first step the resin or resin mixture is pre-polymerized to produce a pre-product and final curing of the resin or resin mixture takes place in another step once the pre-product has been placed on a substrate. The pre-polymerization of the resin or resin mixture is run without pressure and staple fibers with a length selected from a range with a lower limit of 30 mm and an upper limit of 200 mm are used.

  • Patent number: 8025134
    Abstract: The invention describes a friction lining (4) comprising a binding agent matrix (5) and friction particles (6), which binding agent matrix (5) forms a coating with a pre-definable coating thickness. A proportion of the friction particles (6) selected from a range with a lower limit of 20% and an upper limit of 100%, by reference to the total quantity of the friction particles (6), has a diameter which is bigger than the coating thickness of the binding agent matrix (5).
