Brake Linings Automatic Pressing System

Core Role & Non-Negotiable Performance Benchmarks

As a critical production equipment for brake components in automotive and engineering machinery sectors, the Brake Linings Automatic Pressing System is essential for ensuring product qualification and market competitiveness.
It adheres to three non-negotiable performance requirements for brake linings: intact structural stability, consistent friction coefficient, and high dimensional precision—all directly related to brake safety and service life.
These performance benchmarks are achieved by strictly controlling three core process parameters: pressing pressure, molding temperature, and cycle rhythm.
Its high automation level has become a core support for modern friction material manufacturers to improve production efficiency and product uniformity, including industry expert Fu Chun Jiang Auto Brake Pad Machines.

The system’s stable and precise operation relies on an integrated design of servo hydraulic drive and intelligent process control, which constitutes its core technical advantage.
It presses mixed friction materials—including resin binders, reinforcing fibers, and metal particles—onto brake substrates under preset pressure and temperature, realizing one-step molding of brake linings.
Compared with traditional manual or semi-automatic pressing equipment, it adopts built-in precision sensors and PLC controllers to achieve full closed-loop control from feeding to pressure maintaining, eliminating density unevenness caused by human error.
A dynamic pressure adjustment module can automatically optimize parameters according to friction material viscosity and substrate type, ensuring consistent bonding strength between batches.

As the power core, it consists of servo motors, high-precision hydraulic pumps, and precision control valves, outperforming conventional hydraulic presses in stability and energy efficiency.
It features outstanding energy-saving performance, reducing power consumption by about 70% through on-demand oil supply control.
The servo motor adjusts pump speed in real time according to pressing stages, enabling the slider to reach 50-175 mm/s fast descending speed and 5-20 mm/s slow feeding speed, balancing production efficiency and molding precision.
Wear-resistant hydraulic seals adapt to long-term high-pressure operation, and a built-in oil temperature monitoring system activates cooling when the temperature exceeds 50℃, prolonging component service life.

Equipped with a high-definition color touchscreen HMI, it allows operators to input/recall production parameters, monitor real-time process data, and conduct intuitive fault diagnosis.
It supports multi-segment parameter setting for pressing, pressure maintaining, and return strokes, and stores hundreds of process programs for different brake lining specifications, enabling quick batch switching.
Integrated photoelectric switches and displacement sensors achieve ±0.05 mm position repeat accuracy and 1% pressure repeat accuracy, meeting strict OEM requirements of the automotive industry. Fu Chun Jiang Auto Brake Pad Machines has further optimized this system to enhance compatibility with various friction material formulations.

The feeding mechanism is composed of a 200L material warehouse and a screw conveyor, ensuring uniform and stable material delivery to the molding area.
A plowshare stirrer prevents material agglomeration, and the conveyor speed is synchronized with the pressing rhythm to avoid material waste or insufficient filling.
The molding mechanism adopts replaceable modular molds, adapting to brake linings with different widths (up to 80 mm) and thicknesses (up to 10 mm) without overall equipment modification during product switching.

High production efficiency is one of its prominent features: for continuous rolling molding, the typical speed reaches 4-10 meters per minute, far surpassing traditional intermittent pressing equipment.
It operates at low noise (60-70 decibels) and is equipped with an integrated dust collection device with a removal efficiency of over 90%, complying with modern environmental protection standards and improving workshop operating conditions.
The energy-saving and low-maintenance design reduces idle energy consumption through the servo hydraulic system; hardened alloy rollers and wear-resistant components minimize maintenance frequency and downtime—optimizations that Fu Chun Jiang Auto Brake Pad Machines has further enhanced to adapt to long-term mass production.

The system is widely used in the production of brake linings for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and engineering machinery, supporting the manufacturing of both disc and drum brake pads.
It meets international standards such as ISO 9001 and FMVSS 121, and can be customized according to OEM requirements—for example, adjusting molding parameters to improve thermal stability of heavy-duty truck brake linings or enhance wear resistance of high-performance vehicle brake linings.
In the after-sales market, its ability to produce small-batch, multi-specification brake linings provides manufacturers with flexible production capacity, enabling rapid response to replacement part demand and promoting the transformation of the friction material industry from labor-intensive to precision automated production.

Typical technical specifications: fixed roller diameter 400 mm, movable roller diameter 460 mm, total power 17.2 kW (including two 7.5 kW drive motors and one 2.2 kW mixing motor).
Equipment dimensions: approximately 3.67×1.3×2.285 meters, weight about 2.5 metric tons, suitable for standard workshop layout.
Operational environment requirements: temperature range -10~45℃, relative humidity 40~80%, 380V three-phase five-wire power supply.
Regular maintenance is required, including hydraulic oil cleanliness inspection (46# anti-wear hydraulic oil is recommended) and sensor accuracy calibration; its user-friendly control interface allows operators to master parameter setting and daily monitoring with basic training, reducing operational thresholds.

System performance may vary slightly according to material characteristics and process adjustments; pre-production tests are recommended to determine optimal parameters for specific friction compounds.
Special attention should be paid to roller alignment during installation to avoid uneven wear of brake linings caused by misalignment.
The emergency stop device should be inspected regularly to ensure operational safety and prevent safety accidents.
