Svendborg Brakes

BRAKE PADS SINTER

For decades Svendborg Brakes have developed brake systems for Wind and Industrial applications, and offer factory approved and tested genuine OEM, OES and Aftermarket friction materials. Typical applications for our brake systems: wind and tidal turbines, mining conveyors, hydropower, cranes, propulsion systems, deck equipment, hoists, draw-works, elevators & escalators and dam turbines.

Sintered friction materials do in general show very good performance at high temperature and high speeds Sintered materials can handle peak temperatures up to 900°C, and rubbing velocity speeds close to 100 m/s, with associated brake pad pressures not exceeding 5 N/mm².Sintered material generally can cope with dusty environments, and are very resistant to most chemicals, greases, lubricants and oils. However, it has to be taken into account that any contamination of the brake material or disc will result in a decrease of the friction level. Such a friction change, can have significant negative impact, so we emphasize the importance of avoiding any pad and disc contamination, keeping the complete brake system clean and dry.
