Extreme operational demands often occur in drive and lifting technology as well as mechanical engineering. This is why the best materials are needed. STS4590 has a high coefficient of friction and is thus suitable for use in disc brake linings, for example in crane brakes and rotor brakes in wind turbines. It can also be used in the field of sintered friction linings.
STS4065 deserves the title of ‘all-rounder’ in our product range. With its high coefficient of friction, it is ideal for use in dynamic industrial brakes and clutches. This material is an indispensable component in mechanical engineering.
STS4061 is a material with a very wide range of applications in mechanical engineering. Its outstanding properties are its dimensional stability, high mechanical stability and independent direction of stress. The material is gentle on the mating material and thus very wear-resistant. It is also a convincing choice on account of the minor differences between static and dynamic coefficients of friction.
STS5940 is a universal friction material with good retardation properties for high mechanical stresses in mechanical engineering. The rubber-bonded, fibre-reinforced material with its semi-flexible structure is particularly suitable for use in sensitive environments, for example to specifically avoid flying sparks. These properties permit a very good comfort level, for example in industrial belt brakes.
Good comfort and wear properties are important when drum brake linings are used, for example in paper machines. STS5961 with its semi-elastic material structure and medium coefficient of friction is ideal for this sector of the mechanical engineering industry.
