Friction

Constant brake activity or, for wet or high temperatures, minimal noise development and minimal friction are just a few of the functions which friction lining must have.

Because complex mixtures of individually coordinated raw materials are formed into friction linings, the respective lining can be optimally suited for its application purpose.

This means that a high-efficiency lining for racing has to meet completely different requirements than a clutch lining in industrial mechanical engineering.

Georg H. Luh GmbH provides graphite and mica for friction lining production primarily with high-quality raw materials which are both free of heavy metals and environmentally-friendly from the graphite and mica product segments for the production of friction lining.

An important prerequisite for the consistent properties of the friction lining is the product consistency of the raw materials. Here our strict and comprehensive quality assurance system plays an important role.

Also in carbon brushes, electrical grinding contacts in the electrical motor, graphite plays an important role due to its unique combination of material properties.
