The Automobile Brake Pad Shear Test Machine manufactured by Technofriction is designed to evaluate the friction lining to carrier (backing plate) Bond strength through the measurement of the force required to shear the friction lining from the carrier. The Machine combines precise test control with ease of operation, generating robust and reproducible test results, and is an ideal instrument for research and development, quality control or other shear strength measurement needs for passenger car and medium truck disc brake pads.
This machine is designed to perform the SAE J840 Test Procedure, ISO 6312, and other similar types of brake pad shear tests. A force normal to the shear force direction is applied in a manner that does not interfere with the measured shear force. Fixtures are utilized to match the brake pad outer radius at the point of contact.
The test results can be summarized by the user in custom defined formats or presented in generally accepted test reporting templates supplied with the machie.
Maximum Shear Force: 70 kN (15,700 lbf) closed loop control (higher capability available)
Maximum Normal Force: 5.5 kN (1,250 lbf) on the Test specimen.
Shear Force to be raised at the rate of 500Kg to600 Kg per second till the failure occurs( Or it can be set by the user through the PLC Controller for the hydraulic circuit)
