Advantages of carbon brake pads
Super high heat resistance
It can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from 800°C to 1200°C, which can ensure braking stability.
Stable friction coefficient
Under different temperature and humidity conditions, the fluctuation of the friction coefficient is small. It can always provide uniform and controllable braking force, improving driving safety.
Lightweight characteristics
Its weight is only 1/3 to 1/2 of that of traditional metal brake pads, which reduces vehicle energy consumption.
Low wear rate
Its service life is 2-3 times that of traditional metal brake pads, which can reduce the replacement frequency.
Low noise and low dust
The friction noise during braking with the brake disc is low and almost no metal dust is produced.
Moderate thermal conductivity
It can effectively prevent the heat generated by braking from being transmitted to the hub and tires, avoiding tire aging.
Uses of carbon brake pad
In the civilian automotive field
In household cars
It can provide smooth daily braking, reduce noise and dust, and enhance driving comfort.
In high-end sports cars
Its high-temperature resistance can support the continuous emergency braking of racing cars on the track. And it can also avoid brake failure and ensure the safety of the racing driver’s operation.
In new energy vehicles
Its lightweight advantage can reduce vehicle energy consumption, meeting the requirements of new energy vehicles for range and weight reduction. And at the same time, its stable friction performance can match the instantaneous braking response under motor drive.
In the rail transportation field
In high-speed rail
High-speed rail runs at a high speed, its speeds reaching over 300 km per hour. And carbon brake pad can quickly absorb kinetic energy during high-speed braking to avoid failure due to high temperature.
In subways
Subways frequently start and stop, you can use it to reduce maintenance frequency and lower operating costs because of its low wear characteristics.
In heavy-duty freight trains
They have high load capacity, you can use carbon brake pads to ensure transportation safety. They have high load-bearing capacity and stable braking force of carbon brake pads can ensure that the train doesn’t slide.
In the aerospace field
In aircraft landing
Carbon brake pads can instantly convert the high-speed kinetic energy of the aircraft into braking force. And they can withstand extreme high temperatures to avoid damage to the braking components.
In large unmanned aircraft
The lightweight and low-noise characteristics of carbon brake pads can adapt to the precise takeoff and landing requirements of unmanned aircraft. And then reducing the impact of the braking system on the stability of the unmanned aircraft’s flight.
