Brake material screening

Selection and full-scale dynamometer equivalent contact pressure, bench test of the small sample

To realize low cost development of the friction material

Brooke'sUMT TriboLab ™Brake material screening test instrument selection and full-size dynamometer equal contact stress, a bench test on small samples.

Brake material screening solutions with flexible, diverse test function, let the user at the same time, to reduce costs can quickly use based on SAE J2522 (AK Master) sorting scheme of industry standards such as material, so as to shorten the development cycle of brake material industry.

To accelerate the development of brake pads

The government's environmental protection laws and regulations and industry demand for improved braking system, push the brake pad material for the development of new formula.

Although there are a variety of formulations and process conditions can meet these requirements, but due to the need in the vehicle driving test before full-scale dynamometer tests, it will extend the new friction material development cycle, and increase the cost of development.

Brake material screening system used in the sample is fairly small, so there is no need to make full brake pads to each candidate materials for testing.Of the small sample application and dynamometer equivalent test pressure, screening test.Select only the best quality several candidate materials for complete function test are given, thus effectively speed up the development, save a lot of cost.

Conformance with the dynamometer test

Rely on UMT TriboLab brake material screening system, can real time test the brake material, easy to develop in line with the industry standard of dynamometer scheme and standard, monitoring of key parameters such as friction, temperature at the same time.

Perform a full test

Brake material screening solution can simulate various different modes:

  • Constant speed test mode
  • The brake material COF package is a function of velocity, temperature and contact pressure
  • The influence of humidity on the brake material performance
  • Attenuation and recovery test

Unique advantages

Brake material screening function, can help developers to quickly adjust the material formula and test materials in accordance with the latest rules and regulations, and promote the foundation of the new brake pads and rotor material research.

TriboLab brake material screening solutions can:

  • On a single system realize accurate and repeatable friction coefficient and wear measurement
  • In line with the industry standard (such as SAE J2522) of experimental data
  • Control the speed, pressure, humidity and temperature
  • Establish a flexible test program
  • The samples prepared from the actual brake pads and rotor meaningful measurements
  • Shorten the test time, improve testing flux, provide rapid material formula rankings
  • Lower environmental impact in the test program
