Alto Red Eagle® material offers similar mid-point coefficient at high
horsepower applications. In addition, the Alto Red Eagle® material
gives superior friction wear characteristics at high energy engagements.
The leading competitor's material degrades thermally and physically
after reaching approximately 2.25 HP/in2.

NOTE: The Lower Lbs./Sq.In. Required to stop the
flywheel, the higher the frictional properties.
Results: Pressure required to stop the
flywheel on "ALTO RED EAGLE®"
are slightly lower than "Manufacturer A" and well below
"Manufacturer B."
Conclusion: The frictional properties of
"ALTO RED EAGLE®"
are slightly higher than "Manufacturer A" and well above
"Manufacturer B."

Test Schedule and Duration:
Test conducted in six energy levels. Each level consists of 100
clutch engagements at 60 second intervals, from 4600 RPM with a
clutch lockup time of one second, the indicated pressure required
to stop the flywheel in one second.
|
|
|
RESULTS:
OEM "Manufacturer A" indicated pitting of the friction
facings. The steel mating plates were straw colored with some slight
scuffing.
OEM "Manufacturer B" indicated heavier pitting and some
signs of burn. The steel mating plates were straw colored to slight
blue and showed flow lines.
ALTO RED EAGLE® indicated no
pitting. The steel mating plates showed no change in color and were
polished.
Conclusion: ALTO RED EAGLE® at
higher coefficients of friction showed no abnormal wear. Opposing
steel plates also showed no abnormal wear. |
