Extensive selection of proven, safe and high-performance products for a wide range of applications, made in Germany.
Our extensive range of proven and safe high-performance products work to give you a competitive advantage. Our products are fail-safe, cost–saving, and can be implemented in many different applications. You may choose from a standard and special purpose portfolio of linings for disc-, drum-, rail brakes and clutches on an organic basis with resin and rubber binders, sintered metal, or ceramic basis, with or without metal, and in woven or pressed form. Moreover we manufacture woven or roll molded linings in our German plants. We even supply you organic or ceramic hot and cold bonding systems tailored to your application needs.
The gliding materials with low friction coefficients of µ < 0.2 -0.01 constructed from organic, sintered metal, or ceramic materials function at temperatures up to 1500°C (2700°F). We make them from thermoplastics (PE, PTFE, PUR, PA etc), duroplastics, polymers, carbons (graphite), gliding materials, and glide thermal ceramics, in woven, molded, cast or sintered form. We also produce special purpose sealing rings for rotary kiln, glide and guide rails (which are also available in sheet form) on spec based on drawings or samples.
Our high-temperature sintered metal powder friction materials on an iron, copper, or bronze basis, with or without fiber reinforcement, and with or without ceramic hybrid binder systems were developed for heaviest-duty applications at temperatures up to 1200°C (2200°F) . We produce disc brake pads, drum brake linings, clutch facings for dry and oil-running, motor bike pads, lamellas, rings, discs, segments, flat sheets, and form articles based on drawings or samples.
Specially formulated rubber mixes are made to produce a variety of rubber pulley friction laggings for driven- and non-driven belt conveyor pulleys. Our rubber linings reduce aquaplaning and resulting belt slippage.
Our SUPERGRIP and BESTGRIP low-wear rubber laggings, which feature different groove patterns or can be ordered without grooves, represent an inexpensive material solution with shore A hardness from 40-75 featuring different elastomeric carriers for oil and chemical resistance or hot application.
All our rubber and ceramic pulley friction laggings may be bonded directly onto pulleys or onto our quick-exchange steel shell system using our SUPERBOND and CERABOND high-performance bonding systems. Bonding in metal and ceramics to metal bonding is no problem for us.
In 1950, we invented COMBI, the world’s first porous technical ceramic pulley friction lagging, which later triggered the development of our CERA brand porous and 100% dense industrial ceramics. Today, they provide ultimate performance, and are the most economic porous ceramic pulley friction alternative for all driven and non-driven belt conveyor pulleys of any size and capacity.
They guarantee the ultimate feasibility of micro- cogging and positive locking in friction physics (µ = 1.0-1.5) towards the rubber conveyor (textile or steel reinforced) belt endowed with extreme wear resistance and wear protection to ensure absolutely slip- and failure– free and continuous conveying operations by preventing the dreaded conveyor belt aquaplaning.
As per application we manufacture our patented technical ceramics in a precisely defined porous structure (CERALITE / CERAGUM / CERAGRIP / SILCARFLEX / COMBI / CERASHELL or in 100% densely sintered execution (CERADRIVE / CERASINT) with pressure resistance up to 3000 N/mm².
CERALITE / CERAGUM / COMBI / CERASHELL are porous organic binder ceramics, whereas CERAGRIP (porous) / SILCARFLEX (porous) / CERADRIVE (100% dense) / CERASINT (100% dense) are inorganic binder ceramics fused and sintered under high temperature. SILCARFLEX is a porous hybrid ceramic quality featuring inorganic ceramics, plus a non-corrosive metal binding system for increased cross breaking strength.
For special applications under extreme temperatures up to 1000°C (1800°F) and for belt drive pulleys in bucket elevators of all sizes, which present a high damage risk to drive pulley friction lagging by contact with metal bucket fixing elements, we recommend our wear resistant nox-oxide metal high temperature ceramic lagging CERAMET METALLAG on our ready-to-install, quick – exchange CERAMET steel shell lagging system.
We make our technical ceramic laggings in 2 forms: hot vulcanized in rubber and supplied in strip form or in 100% all-ceramics without rubber (NORUB) and supplied in sheet form. By their special chemical composition and physical design our industrial alumina and aluminum ceramics guarantee the perfect 100% form-fit and positive locking with the conveyor belt and generate extremely high adhesion (friction) coefficients of µ 1.0-1.5 to the belt in dry and all-wet operation and independent from the installed drive power. Adhesion coefficients are only marginally reduced in wet loamy conditions.
Friction coefficients of µ > 1.0 are theoretically impossible after the Coulomb Friction Law. But they are generated in practice upon contact between elastic rubber materials (conveyor belt) and rough, hard, surface contoured counter materials (porous or toothed ceramics), because positive locking effects flow into the opposite directional friction force by the interlocking of the surface grooves. Elastic Formula 1 tires bend in the same direction as the underlying material on rough asphalt of a racetrack.
The extremely high adhesion coefficients of our ceramic laggings practically eliminate the differential speeds between belt and pulley, which leads to a considerable increase of belt life, because the wear-generating carry-over on the belt will no longer be squashed or ground between friction lagging and the belt.
The extremely high adhesion coefficients allow a smaller and less costly pulley dimension and an increase of belt speed for more material output and a reduction of belt tensions in order to preserve belts, bearings, and other components, and reduce ceramic wear.
All of our ceramic products feature extreme ceramic wear resistance, with Mohs hardness up to 9.7 against the frictional action of the mostly dirty belt, and thus guarantee long lifetime and continuous high performance without any decrease in adhesion/friction coefficient for many years. This is why it makes economic view to also equip all non-driven pulleys in a belt conveyor system with our ceramic wear protection low friction lagging CERASINT. We also provide superior wear protection and wear liners.
Our rubber ceramic friction laggings with CN backing layer are bonded directly onto the pulleys using our high performance SUPERBOND rubber bonding systems or custom rubber bonding solutions. The all-ceramic friction laggings without rubber are bonded by our special M.I.C.K.E. NORUB bonding systems.
All our ceramic laggings (rubber ceramic and NORUB) are also available on our quick-exchange, fast-mounting M.I.C.K.E. – Friction lagging steel shell system.
Our friction lagging shell system for pulleys in operation of any size and for new installations guarantees the briefest possible downtimes for your expensive belt conveying operations.
It comprises the factory-provided friction lagging on the shells which are made from standard steel, or stainless steel and aluminum for magnetic pulleys. The shells come in service friendly dimensions and are fixed to the pulley border via bolting or welding offering the following advantages:
