What is the Standard for Brake Pad Friction Coefficient?
1 Answers
The friction coefficient standards are as follows: Class 1: 0.20~0.70 at 200°C; Class 2: 0.20~0.70 at 250°C; Class 3: 0.20~0.70 at 300°C; Class 4: 0.25~0.70 at 350°C. Below is relevant information about brake pads: 1. Brake pad classification: semi-metallic brake pads, low-metallic brake pads, NAO formula brake pads, ceramic brake pads, and NAO ceramic brake pads. 2. Ceramic brake pads vs. traditional brake pads: In traditional brake pads, metal is the primary material generating friction, providing strong braking force but with significant wear and a tendency for noise. After installing ceramic brake pads, abnormal squealing does not occur during normal driving. 3. Stable friction coefficient: Ordinary brake pads have immature friction materials, and excessively high friction coefficients can lead to unsafe factors such as loss of directional control during braking, pad burning, and scratching of brake discs. Even when the brake disc temperature reaches 650°C, the friction coefficient of ceramic brake pads remains around 0.45-0.55, ensuring excellent braking performance for the vehicle.
