Brake presses
Press machine brake pads are manufactured using a composite structure of carbon fibers, phenolic resin, and mineral materials to ensure high thermal and mechanical resistance. The thickness of these pads typically ranges from 10 to 16 millimeters, with a friction coefficient between 0.40 and 0.52. They can withstand operating temperatures up to 520 degrees Celsius, and their wear rate is reported to be less than 0.06 millimeters per 1,000 kilometers. The dense pad structure enhances integrity and reduces thermal cracking under high pressure and temperature conditions.
The compressive strength of press machine brake pads reaches up to 32 megapascals, and surface hardness is measured between 72 and 85 Rockwell C. The pad surface design includes deep grooves that improve ventilation and reduce operating temperature by up to 18 percent. These pads can endure dynamic forces exceeding 2,500 newtons and are widely used in high-pressure industrial press braking systems. Their lifespan under standard conditions is estimated at up to 90,000 braking cycles.
