Friction Sheets
Friction Sheet, commonly referred to as Industrial Friction Sheet, Brake Lining Sheet, Brake Liner, Friction Lining, Friction Material Sheet, or Industrial Brake Lining, is a high-performance friction material designed for reliable braking and clutching in demanding industrial environments. These sheets are engineered using woven or molded composites of specialized fibers, resins, and reinforcements to deliver consistent friction, heat dissipation, and durability. Available in Woven, Rigid, Non-Asbestos, Metallic, and Heat Resistant variants, our Industrial Friction Material products serve heavy machinery and equipment across diverse sectors.
Specifications
Key Features
- High friction coefficient
- Excellent heat dissipation
- Wear resistant
- Available in asbestos & non asbestos variants
- Metallic wire inclusions for enhanced performances
Key Benefits
- Stable Friction Coefficient – Typically 0.4–0.6 (normal/hot) with excellent fade resistance and consistent recovery across operating cycles.
- High Heat Resistance – Continuous operation up to 150–315°C depending on grade, with intermittent peaks even higher for Heavy Duty variants.
- Mechanical Strength – High tensile strength, compressive durability, and flexibility (in woven types) for effective shock absorption.
- Wear Resistance – Low abrasion on mating surfaces, oil/chemical resistance in select grades, and extended service life.
- Environmental Compliance – Modern Non-Asbestos formulations using aramid, glass, ceramic, or organic fibers meet current safety and environmental standards.
- Vibration Damping – Low noise and vibration under engagement, improving operator comfort and machine longevity.
- Custom Formats – Available in rolls, sheets, segments, blocks, or custom machined shapes to fit any brake or clutch geometry.
- Oil-Immersed Operation – Specialized grades perform reliably in wet/oil-immersed clutch and brake systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between Woven and Rigid Friction Sheet? +
Woven types are more flexible for curved drum brakes and bands, while rigid molded sheets suit flat or block applications with higher compressive strength.
Q2: Are your Friction Sheets asbestos-free? +
Yes, we primarily offer modern Non-Asbestos Friction Sheet and Non-Metallic Friction Sheet options that comply with current safety and environmental standards.
Q3: What is the typical temperature range? +
Continuous operation up to 150–315°C depending on grade, with intermittent peaks higher. Heat Resistant Friction Sheet variants handle extreme conditions effectively.
Q4: Can these be used in oil-immersed applications? +
Yes, specialized grades (e.g., certain woven synthetics) perform well in oil with adjusted (lower) friction coefficients, suitable for wet clutch systems.
Q5: What formats and thicknesses are available? +
Rolls, flat sheets, radius blocks, segments, cones, and custom machined parts. Thicknesses from 3 mm to 30+ mm; widths and lengths tailored to requirements.
Q6: Do you provide custom friction materials? +
Absolutely — as an experienced Friction Sheet Manufacturer, we develop and supply bespoke Brake Friction Material and Clutch Facing Material for unique applications including custom formulations.
Q7: What is the typical friction coefficient? +
Typically 0.4–0.6 under normal and hot conditions, with excellent fade resistance ensuring consistent performance throughout the braking cycle.
Q8: Can you supply drilled or radiused linings? +
Yes, we offer full fabrication support including drilled, radiused, and custom-profiled friction linings as per your drawings and specifications.
