Heavy-Duty Friction Plate for Mining Vehicle Wet Axles Engineered for the extreme conditions of mining vehicle wet axles, this friction plate delivers reliable braking performance through its copper-based sintered construction. Designed to operate in oil-cooled environments, it maintains consistent friction coefficients across wide temperature ranges, critical for safe and efficient vehicle operation .
Technical Specifications & Design
Core Components:
Copper-Based Sintered Alloy: Combines high thermal conductivity with wear resistance, ensuring stable performance even during prolonged braking. The resin reinforcement enhances friction stability, meeting ASTM G99 standards for coefficient consistency .
Oil-Cooled Compatibility: Optimized for use with mineral oil and ATF fluids, which dissipate heat and prevent glazing in wet axle systems.
Uniform Surface Pattern: Promotes even oil distribution and friction contact, reducing hot spots and extending service life .
Performance Advantages
Temperature Resilience: Operates reliably from -30°C (cold storage areas) to +200°C (high-load braking), eliminating performance drop in extreme conditions .
Durability:
100,000-cycle durability test (ISO 15484) confirms long service life, reducing maintenance downtime.
Wear rate <0.01mm/1000 cycles ensures minimal dimensional change over time, preserving brake clearance.
Safety: Consistent friction coefficients (0.4 static / 0.38 dynamic) provide predictable braking force, critical for heavy mining vehicles carrying loads .
Applications
Mining Vehicles: Used in wet axle assemblies of haul trucks, loaders, and dumpers operating in abrasive and dusty environments.
Industrial Machinery: Compatible with oil-cooled brake systems in construction equipment and material handlers.
