OEM Replacement Non-Asbestos Brake Pads

An OEM company approached Potter Associates, Inc. to come up with a replacement material for Asbestos they use on their brake shoe linings. The customer supplied us with a print and 2D CAD drawings of the asbestos brake shoe linings. The linings, which had a radius of 4.50" and a width of 3.00", had a friction coefficient of .45, an RMS of 250 and were manufactured within tolerances of +/- 0.010". We choose a Non-Asbestos alternate material to use that would work in their application. We turned around the brake shoe linings in 1-2 weeks and delivered them to the client in Upstate, NY.
