Requirement Of Best Brake Lining Material For Brakes There are so many industrial machineries are used, and one of the important parts of the machine is brake. This is an important safety feature, and it must be maintained and updated. Asbestos based brake lining material was used in previous years due to its ability to get rid of excessive heat, and it is cheap and fire resistant. But, one of its disadvantages is, it is a harmful cancer-causing material. But now-a-days, this is not available in the market due to government regulations. There are three kinds of brake pads are available in the market, they are non-asbestos, semi-metallic and ceramic friction.
Non-asbestos type of brake lining materials are environment friendly and durable. Rubber, glass, different types of resins, either of these materials is used for brake lining. Brakes, which use these linings, create dust when used but they are not considered as pollutants. Second type of brake lining materials are brass, copper or steel, which are more durable than nonasbestos type of lining materials. These materials are cheap and easy for maintaining and can be loud. Third type of lining material is costly, but lightweight due to their copper construction. These linings are used with high performance vehicles, and are able to efficiently dissipate heat, also reduce metal-to-metal wear.
