Dynamic Sealing

Carbon and graphite materials are put to a wide range of uses in the chemical industry thanks to their exceptional sealing properties. Many processes involve the pumping, stirring and transport of corrosive, toxic or explosive media. The pumps used have rotating shafts with axial seal rings which must dependably keep out gases or fluids with low hydrodynamic lubricity. We assist our customers with our long-standing experience in sealing applications and our extensive knowledge on materials with innovative, often tailor-made solutions even in small production runs.

SIGRACOMP CFRP Components

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) are materials consisting of several components: a basic or carrier substance known as the matrix, as well as a reinforcing second component carbon fiber which is embedded in the matrix. This combination results in high-performance materials with new properties.
Depending on the matrix material and fiber type, these properties can vary widely and be optimized for use in the requested application. Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics are indispensable in high-tech applications, where high strength and good rigidity are just as essential as low weight. The properties of CFRP materials bring to bear precisely when other materials reach their limits.
Typical properties of CFRP components:
low weight
high strength and break resistance
good rigidity
corrosion resistance
vibration resistance
low thermal expansion

SIGRACOMP CFRP Friction Materials

CFRP wet friction materials consist of woven carbon fiber embedded in a synthetic matrix system. Thermosetting plastics are used mainly to serve as a binding constituent. Our CFRP materials show excellent performance in wet friction applications.
SIGRACOMP CC Friction Materials
CarbonCarbon wet friction materials are composed of woven carbon fiber with a pyrolytic carbon binder produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of hydrocarbon gas. The carbon binder holds the fibers together but is porous to allow oil flow. The woven surface provides natural oil flow channels.
Major Benefits
Excellent compressive strength
Very low wear over lifetime
Constant CoF over lifetime
High misuse friction energy capability
Good green shift ability
Broad oil compatibility
Applications
Transmission synchronizers
Slip differentials
Torque converter clutches
Wet brakes and clutches

Racing Brake Disks

Automotive Racing Products: CarbonCarbon (CC) brakes are at their premium performance levels in high energy situations. They have outstanding thermal shock resistance, do not fade, offer consistent brake performance, are light weight and wear resistant. The brake rotor and pads are made entirely from CC as it provides both structural and frictional properties.
We developed the first automotive racing application of CarbonCarbon brakes for Formula One teams. Today we utilize the focused concept to develop and produce friction products for a growing list of customers on the move. This concept concentrates our expert personnel and production equipment to support existing and new friction products and customers, optimizing throughput and service while minimizing costs.

Carbon-Ceramic Brake Discs

At the IAA in Frankfurt in 1999, the carbon-ceramic brake disk had its world premiere. The use of the high-tech material had revolutionized the brake technology: In comparison to the conventional grey cast iron brake disk the carbon-ceramic brake disk weighed round 50 per cent less reducing the unsprung mass by almost 20 kilograms. Further significant advantages are: improved brake response and fading data, high thermal stableness, no hot judder, excellent pedal feel, improved steering behavior, high abrasion resistance and thus longer life time and the advantage of avoiding almost completely brake dust. At first Porsche AG built the carbon-ceramic brake disk in 2001 into the 911 GT2 as series equipment. Since that time also other premium brands use the advantages of this innovative brake technology for more security and comfort. These are for example sports cars and luxury class limousines from Audi, Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini.
Dimensioning and Design
The overall car braking system is designed to match a cars layout and take advantage of the ceramic brake disk materials properties. We cover the designing of the brake the construction of the brake disk as well as the selection of the friction layers and the caliper and adjust the brake into the concept of the vehicle. The main parameters determining the braking system design are a cars maximum speed, the time sequence of full brake applications possible to bring a car to a stop from top speed and the mass to be braked, in addition to the axle load distribution and the cars aerodynamics. The purpose of brake disk dimensioning and design is to ensure that a car can be stopped safely under any conceivable driving conditions. Braking system design also needs to ensure that neither the disk itself nor any other component in its direct vicinity is exposed to excessive thermal loads. The optimal cooling vane geometry is determined by numerical methods (Computational Fluid Dynamics) for each car model. The design calculation also takes account of the air pressure building up underneath the car and inside the wheel arch as a function of the cars aerodynamic design and traveling speed.
