Product Spotlight - Wet Brake

27 February 2024 3 min read

Wet brakes are crucial in heavy machinery brake systems. They utilize multiple discs cooled by oil, ensuring optimal temperature for efficient performance in extreme conditions.
The friction materials in wet brakes are compressible, porous, and operate within an oil medium, transferring torque to and from steel-mating plates. As kinetic energy converts to frictional heat during brake actuation, the material manages this heat absorption within the metal and oil components.
Friction material characteristics:

• High heat capability
• Ability to withstand high pressure loading
• Resistance to glazing from oil abuse
• Smooth engagement characteristics
• Comprehensive material technology coverage

No matter the nature of the machinery you operate, the quality & reliability of your wet-brake system is crucial. Contact us today to learn how IMC product solutions can work for you.
