When every manufacturer is emphasizing “good quality, good price”, how to buy seems even harder. Senior procurement professionals know full well that the true value is hide behind the price sheet. They have all sorts of evaluation frameworks in mind that are deeper, more experienced and more practical to handle. Today, we will talk about 3 important traits of a supplier, this trait may be easy to overlook, but it’s important.

While the original equipment manufacturers' buying decision-makers would only care about the unit cost between moulded clutch and woven clutch, the quoted initial price was actually only a minute fraction of what the real cost was. A smart value analysis should consider the total cost of ownership (TCO), including the performance of the product, long-term durability, supply chain stability, and even the long-term impact on the reputation of the brand.

Avoid production line disruptions. This guide is for purchasing managers seeking a truly stable automotive clutch facing manufacturer. Learn the 4-step framework to evaluate suppliers beyond price, ensuring you secure a partner that delivers a genuine high performance-price ratio for OEM supply and long-term value.

For OEM purchasing managers, choosing the right clutch facing supplier goes beyond price. This guide reveals the 5 hallmarks of a true OEM-ready partner, from supplier IATF 16949 compliance and expertise in woven clutch facing to achieving a long-term cost-down solution. Make a strategic choice for your supply chain.

Learn how to choose the right heavy truck brake pads based on lifespan, safety, comfort, and noise. Yida Friction Material offers high-quality, durable, and asbestos-free brake pads trusted by global OEMs.

Commercial vehicles primarily use air-operated drum brake pads due to their high braking torque and cost efficiency. However, thermal fade—caused by overheating during frequent braking—remains a critical safety challenge, especially under overloading or high-speed conditions. Standard brake pads operate optimally at 100–350°C, but inferior materials fail above 250°C, risking brake failure. Premium pads incorporate high-temperature resins, graphite, and barium sulphate to maintain stability. This analysis highlights the need for advanced friction materials to mitigate fade and enhance safety in logistics-heavy environments.

The clutch plate is a critical component in automotive transmission systems, serving as the interface for power transfer between the engine and gearbox. Traditional asbestos-based friction materials are being replaced by advanced alternatives like semi-metallic, composite fiber, and ceramic fiber materials due to environmental and safety demands. The clutch assembly—comprising friction discs, damper springs, and a hub—ensures smooth gear shifts by engaging/disengaging the flywheel. Modern designs, such as CVT clutch plates, intelligently adapt to driving conditions, automatically decoupling during coasting and re-engaging when acceleration resumes. This evolution enhances durability, efficiency, and driver comfort while meeting stringent performance standards.
