The optimal design of a clutch pack requires an ideal combination of power density, noise-vibration-harshness (NVH) requirements, efficiency, and total cost of ownership, depending on customer requirements and operating conditions. The FRED web application helps design clutch packs - from the geometric design to the friction lining type - saving several hours. The name “FRED” stands for FRiction Engineering Designer. It is a technical tribology solution for friction linings helping you find the best technology for your application.
The web application helps you design a clutch pack. The advantage: Within a few minutes, you know which technology works for your project.
For the calculation, you need values such as the installation space and the torque. FRED provides you with the key data to make it easier for you to take technology decisions.
Miba Friction Group offers the world’s widest range of friction linings. These friction linings are superior performance components in vehicle clutches and brakes. Compared to conventional products, they provide a higher power density in axles and transmissions.
Friction linings from the Miba Friction Group are developed for wet and dry-running applications. Depending on the specifications, the base material types range from carbon, fiber composite and molybdenum to sintered powder linings.
Friction plates are the heart of a clutch. They create a frictional lock to enable a vehicle to drive away and change gear. Applications for this fiber composite friction plate and the steel counter plate include wet-running powershift transmissions for agricultural and construction machinery.
This type of friction plate and the steel counter plate are used in four-wheel drive clutches and differential locks in four-wheel drive vehicles. They support torque distribution and are characterized by highpressure resistance and low wear.
Sintered powder friction plates enable efficient torque transfer even at high energy loads (in tractor brakes, for example). They are characterized by particularly high temperature resistance and low wear.
Thanks to their high resistance to wear, long service life and high pressure resistance, the main area of application for molybdenum linings is the high-performance limited-slip differential.
