How to Choose the Right Heavy Truck Brake Pads – YD Friction Material
Jul 25,2025
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.
What type of brake pads are used in commercial vehicles?
Jul 24,2025
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.
Clutch Plate Product Function Introduction
Jul 23,2025
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.
