Mcmasters Brake and Clutch Lining

[KohKohPuffs]

The arm gearbox I designed for 649 utilized a piston-actuated piston brake. The material used as the friction material was urethane as opposed to the materials in the link you provided. From what I heard, the setup has endured quite well during the competition season.

Of course, you would need to consider piston force and other factors, but I guess this would be "something equivalent" to the Brake and Clutch lining. Personally, I would recommend urethane, me coming from a team with experience with it in such applications.

Just chiming in here to let you know. It's still working great even after many post-season events and demos. quite an impressive system you made there. The Urethane pads haven't worn at all because the aluminum plate stops the instant it's pushed into it.
