Abstract

A method for producing a friction lining. The friction lining is wound in three layers with different winding ratios.

Claims (24)

1. A method for producing a friction lining for friction parts, the friction lining being produced from at least one winding, the winding being wound from only a first predetermined number of plies, which form a first layer, a second predetermined number of plies, which form a second layer, and a third predetermined number of plies, which form a third layer,

wherein the first predetermined number of plies, the second predetermined number of plies and the third predetermined number of plies are each wound with a different winding ratio from a coherent piece of yarn, the yarn being impregnated, and

wherein the first layer and the third layer are wound from friction yarn and the second layer is wound from reinforcing yarn.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein only winding ratios are selected resulting in only a predetermined maximum number of yarn portions within a predetermined extent in a circumferential direction reaching an inside or an outside diameter.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the maximum number of yarn portions amounts to between 2 and 10.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the predetermined extent in the circumferential direction amounts to 0.1 to 30 degrees.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the predetermined maximum number of yarn portions amounts to 5.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the predetermined extent in the circumferential direction amounts to 10 degrees.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the winding ratio of the first predetermined number of plies, the second predetermined number of plies, and the third predetermined number of plies, which are wound directly successively in time, differ in each case by an amount of a predetermined value.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the predetermined value amounts to between 1:0.1 and 1:0.5.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the predetermined amounts to a ratio between 1:0.2 and 1:0.4.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the winding ratio of the first predetermined number of plies, the second predetermined number of plies and the third predetermined number of plies are each selected within a predetermined interval by means of a random number method.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the predetermined interval amounts to a ratio between 1:1.0 to 1:6.0.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the predetermined interval amounts to a ratio between 1:2.0 to 1:5.0.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein a transition from one winding ratio to another winding ratio takes place in a predetermined transition region.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the transition region amounts to 60 degrees in a circumferential direction.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the winding is wound from between from 5 to 15 plies.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the winding is wound from between 2 and 20 plies.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein a transition from one winding ratio to another winding ratio takes place on an outside diameter of the friction parts.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein a transition from one winding ratio to another winding ratio takes place on an inside diameter of the friction parts.

19. A friction lining for clutches or brakes, as claimed in claim 1 , comprising:

at least one winding, the winding having only a first layer being formed from a first predetermined number of plies, a second layer being formed from a second predetermined number of plies and a third layer being formed from a third predetermined number of plies,

wherein the first predetermined number of plies, the second predetermined number of plies and the third predetermined number of plies are each wound with a different winding ratio from a coherent piece of impregnated yarn, and

wherein the first layer and the third layer are wound from friction yarn and the second layer is wound from reinforcing yarn.
