|---|---|
| Friction Coefficient (μ) | 0.38–0.42 (stable up to 550°C) |
| Operating Temperature | -50°C to 550°C |
| Material Composition | Brake shoes friction materials (ceramic fibers, aramid-reinforced fibers, graphite, and resin binders) |
| Thickness Range | 10–15 mm (optimized for heavy-load braking) |
| Noise Level | <75 dB (low-noise design) |
Key Advantages
- Environmentally Sustainable:
- Free from asbestos, copper, and heavy metals, aligning with global regulations such as REACH and RoHS.
- The Brake Shoes Formula minimizes hazardous dust emissions during braking, protecting ecosystems.
- Consistent Performance:
- Stable friction coefficient across a wide temperature range (-50°C to 550°C), ensuring reliable braking in diverse climates.
- Reinforced Brake Shoes Mixes reduce wear rates by 25% compared to semi-metallic alternatives, lowering maintenance costs.
- Low Noise & Vibration:
- Aramid fibers and graphite in the brake shoes mixture dampen vibrations, critical for driver comfort in long-haul operations.
- Corrosion Resistance:
- Surface-treated with anti-rust coatings to withstand moisture and road salts, extending component lifespan.
Packaging and Storage
- Rust Prevention:
- Each brake shoe is coated with silicone-based anti-corrosion agents to prevent oxidation during transit.
- Packaging:
- Individually wrapped in moisture-resistant, recyclable paper.
- Stacked in reinforced wooden crates with desiccant packs for bulk shipments.
- Storage Conditions:
- Store in dry, well-ventilated areas (humidity <60%) at 10–30°C.
- Avoid stacking over three layers to prevent deformation.
Applications
Designed for:
- Heavy-duty trucks operating in extreme terrains.
- Fleet vehicles requiring compliance with environmental standards.
- Commercial vehicles prioritizing low noise and durability.
The NAO Formula’s brake shoes friction materials meet ISO 9001 and SAE J2928 certifications, ensuring compatibility with global OEM and aftermarket standards.
