Home About Us Research & Development
Ratek Industries's friction products are designed, manufactured and tested with attention to every detail, from matching the right friction material to the application through the production of raw materials and to final assembly. Thousands of hours of research and dynamometer testing are applied to ensure that Ratek friction discs are the best you can get (Exactly what you need).
Ratek Industries has a wide range of Friction Materials which have been developed and tested In-House. Broad Categories are as below :
Constant engagement with OEMs and a detailed Market Analysis, assist Ratek Industries to focus on New Product Technologies and be the First To Market. Ratek Industries and its engineers with their experience have the capability of Designing Friction Material and Solutions for the Customer. All Friction Material are tested on a Computerized Testing Machine which was designed by RATEK. Thus enabling us to have full control on the Performance Parameters like Co-efficiency, Stability, Vibration, Heat Resistance and Wear Resistance.
MATERIAL DESCRIPTION
A greenish-gray composite resillent organic or 'paper' type material, designed for use in wet or oil-immersed applications.
This material has a moderately high coefficient of friction and reasonably well-controlled static-to-dynamic friction. It also exhibits excellent wear resistance when used in appropriate applications.
