What are Brake Linings?

Brake linings are friction materials used for braking. In a brake system, pistons press the brake linings against rotating brake drums, forcing the rotation to slow and eventually halt. Linings exert significant force on brake drums to stop rotation and must be made from high-quality friction materials. At Potter, we partner with trusted manufacturers to supply brake linings made from numerous friction materials, including:

Non-Asbestos Composite
Metallic Filled
Non-Metallic Filled
Non-Ferrous

Features of Brake Linings

Numerous styles of brake linings are crafted for various results. Low-wear and low-abrasion linings are designed for longevity and require low maintenance, helping reduce long-term costs while ensuring smooth braking performances. Medium-friction or high-friction brake linings offer stronger support for harsh or repeated braking. Brake linings with excellent fade resistance qualities are protected against heat buildup to avoid losing friction abilities, ensuring consistent, reliable braking.
