Friction Materials (Industrial)
E. Fletcher (Chesterfield) Limited have substantial stocks
of Industrial Friction Materials in
the form of Industrial Disc Brake Pads.
The
term "Industrial Friction" would cover products for
vehicles of industrial nature such as Dump Trucks, both rigid
and articulated, Loading Shovels or Wheeled Loaders as they are
also referred to, Mobile Cranes and Container Handling Vehicles
etc; etc.
Industrial Friction materials sold by ourselves are now all "asbestos
free" in line with current European and North American regulations.
Modern materials have now substituted asbestos content with ingredients
such as Aramid Fibres, Glass Fibres and Metallic inclusions in
the way of Sphoidal and Flake particles. Current Asbestos Free
materials offer extended life to that of asbestos with no added
detrimental effect to that of asbestos in the way they react
with the mating components, be they a Brake Drum or Brake Disc,
(or Brake Rotor as they are sometimes known).
As for manufacturers brands, such brake pads would be commonly
fitted to Vehicle Manufacturers such as Caterpillar, Terex, Volvo,
Komatsu, Moxy, O&K, Hanomag, JCB, Aveling Barford, Bell;
and Brake Caliper Manufacturers such as Rockwell, BF Goodrich,
Mico and Perrot, to name but a few.
