Injection moulded friction materials for general industrial applications

Shape and form of friction materials from traditional production procedures often are in direct opposition. By using “injection moulded” friction materials we are able to combine both, mechanical and tribological characteristics.

The Injection Moulding Technology shows new ways to develop friction materials. Its application results in the use of many high performance polymers with outstanding material characteristics. It can also be combined with superior tribological and mechanical characteristics. Injection moulding allows a wide range of geometries in an uncomplicated way; it creates a universal procedure with great potentials. The homogeneity of the materials produced with injection moulding enables Schaeffler Friction Products to manufacture components of minimal thicknesses.

By using this latest technology Schaeffler Friction Products GmbH succeeds in combining shape and function in an innovative way.
