Friction discs built for machines that can't afford downtime.
Paper, sintered bronze and steel mating plates for wet brakes, transmissions and heavy-duty OEM replacement. Send a part number, drawing or sample and start with technical confirmation—not guesswork.
Already have an OEM or part number?
No number? Send a drawing, product photo, dimensions or equipment model.
One wrong disc can cost more than the whole order.
Wrong fit
Wrong teeth, thickness or diameter can stop a rebuild before the machine even runs.
ALMAX response: verify the number, drawing, dimensions or sample before production.
Early wear
A low unit price becomes expensive when the machine must be opened again.
ALMAX response: match friction material to the load, oil, temperature and duty cycle.
Batch inconsistency
A good sample means little if repeat orders change in thickness, friction surface or bonding quality.
ALMAX response: control critical dimensions and friction-process variables batch to batch.
You don't need the cheapest disc. You need the one you don't replace twice.
Less downtime. Fewer comebacks. Lower cost per working hour.
One supplier. Multiple friction technologies.

What information is needed for a friction disc quotation?
Send the OEM or part number, quantity and application. If no part number is available, send a drawing, photos, dimensions or a sample.
What friction materials does ALMAX supply?
Core product families include wet paper friction discs, sintered bronze friction discs and steel mating plates. Application-specific materials can be reviewed case by case.
Can ALMAX manufacture obsolete or custom friction discs?
Yes. Drawing-based and sample-based replacement projects can be reviewed for small series, obsolete parts and non-standard applications.
How are friction discs checked before shipment?
Typical checks include thickness, flatness, hardness, tooth profile, groove pattern, surface finish and friction material condition.
