M151 Bonded vs. Riveted Brake Lining Test

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADB273320 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Determine the percent of increase in usable life for the bonded brake lining .375 inch thick when compared to the original equipment OE M151 riveted brake lining .250 inch thick. One set each of the riveted and the bonded brake lining were subjected to laboratory tests on an inertia brake dynamometer. After an initial 200 burnish stops, a 115 stop cycle consisting of wear stops and fade stops was conducted until linings were worn out. The bonded brake lining showed a 97 increase in usable lining life. It is recommended that the thicker bonded brake lining be used in place of the OE riveted lining.
