Product catalog summary
Overview: The Model 100 FAST Machine is designed for friction assessment and screening tests of brake and clutch linings. It provides sensitive and reproducible characterization tests for friction material specimens, making it suitable for both quality control and product development.
Specifications:
  • Pump Pressure (Sustained): 11 Bar (160 psi)
  • Clamping Pressure Limit: 700 N (157 lbs)
  • Maximum Friction Force: 7 N (22 lbs)
  • Normal Rubbing Speed: 7 m/s (23 ft/s)
  • Motor: 1.0 HP (option for 1.5 HP for heavy load tests)
Features:
  • Operates in constant clamping force or constant friction force modes.
  • Provides a reproducible temperature-time history for samples.
  • Includes options for dynamic wear measurement, variable speed drive, and temperature measurement via infrared pyrometer or slip ring.
Test Procedures: The machine supports various standard test procedures, including quality assurance tests for drum brake segments, disc brake pads, truck brake blocks, and clutch facings. Other tests include friction versus load, cyclic loading, static friction, residual drag, and squeal threshold tests.
Software: The ProLink software package enhances operator interface, allowing for quick test data retrieval and automatic friction data recording. Results can be presented digitally or graphically and stored on a hard drive.
Applications: The FAST Machine is recognized throughout the industry for evaluating the frictional properties of brake and clutch linings. It ensures consistent and reproducible results by closely controlling the test environment.

Design simplicity makes the FAST Machine a viable friction and wear tester for brake lining and clutch facing test specimens. The machine operates in either constant clamping force or constant friction force modes, using a constant rubbing speed. The constant friction force mode also provides a reproducible temperature-time history for the sample. Several standard test procedures have been developed for this machine. These include tests for the quality assurance of drum brake segments, disc brake pads, truck brake blocks, and clutch facings. Other tests include friction versus load, cyclic loading, static friction, residual drag, and squeal threshold tests. For more information on the Model 100 FAST Machine and how it can be configured to meet your test requirements, contact LINK at 734-453-0800 or [email protected] The FAST Machine represents a standard that is recognized throughout the industry for evaluating the frictional properties of brake and clutch linings. By closely controlling the test environment, this machine may be depended upon to provide consistent and reproducible results.
