Carlisle's New Friction Pak Prepackaged Components for Wet Brake Installation



BLOOMINGTON, IN - July 20, 2005 - Carlisle Industrial Brake and Friction introduced its Friction Pak(TM) to streamline the ordering and installation of wet brake components. Each custom-assembled Friction Pak(TM) includes all the components needed for wet brake installation. Normally, manufacturers would source the wet brake components, such as friction disks, pistons, seals, spacers, and springs, from individual suppliers. Carlisle's Friction Pak offers all the components in one, easy to use, single source package.

The new Friction Pak(TM) lowers overall installation and assembly costs with prepackaged, ready-to-use wet brake components. Friction Pak(TM) simplifies purchasing and reduces inventory. There is no need to order and store a variety of brake components. Manufacturers will increase their efficiency by having all necessary components on-hand in one box. If you review the total cost of sourcing, managing inventory, and installation, our package can offer a cost reduction. Currently, Friction Paks are used in transmission planetary drive system applications. Friction Paks can be developed for various wet brake applications, providing both static and dynamic braking.

Carlisle Industrial Brake and Friction has been developing innovative and reliable braking solutions for over 50 years. Carlisle offers a wide range of on and off-highway brake products that extend from the foot pedal through the brake and friction material.
