We serve a wide range of heavy duty market sectors

At FMC, we understand that the world’s most demanding industries rely on reliable, high-performance machinery. Our friction plates and materials are engineered to meet the demands of sectors like construction, agriculture, mining, material handling, marine, and general industrial machinery. In environments where failure is both costly and dangerous, our components ensure operational integrity and high productivity.

Heavy duty market sectors demand specialised friction solutions that can withstand high torque, exceptional durability, intense heat resistance, and reliable performance in the most challenging and abrasive environments.

FAQ

Q. What material is best for industrial brake pads?
Answer
The best material for industrial brake pads is dependent on each vehicle’s unique operational requirements. At FMC, we offer a wide range of friction materials designed to satisfy your conditions.
For heavy-duty vehicles like mining sector vehicles, agricultural machinery and industrial cranes, sintered metal materials made of metal fibres that are compressed and fused together with extreme heat are built to withstand demanding conditions. They offer the best longevity, stopping power and heat resistance. Semi-metallic materials are often the best option for lighter industrial vehicles like standard forklifts, warehouse equipment and general manufacturing machinery.
Made from a mixture of metal fibres, friction modifiers, fillers, and resin.
