Product Information
The 3-axis weave and resins used, provide a dense material with resistance to wear, high temperature and compression under load.
The brass wire inclusion not only helps to stabilize the friction value by conducting heat away from the operating surface, but also reinforces the lining when holes are drilled for holding screws. Brass wire is also more environmentally friendly than the use of copper wire in brakes.
Both surfaces are supplied ground, making it suitable for bonding and riveting to either internal or external contracting braking systems. Surface grinding also ensures maximum contact with the drum.
The lining is made in singular form and has no layers to separate and peel off.
Product Fitment
The Kapabrake lining is flexible and can be cold fitted. However, we recommend heating the lining at 160⁰C for 15 minutes to allow for more exact molding of the lining against the band.
We can cure the brake lining to the shoe or band for best possible fitment.
Refurbishment
We also do brake removal, sandblasting, coating of shoe or band and application of new brake linings. We have in-house sand blasting, spray painting and curing facilities.
