Frequency and damping test SAE J2598
Description
Brake pads play a pivotal role in ensuring safety, reliability, and performance of any brake system. To guarantee consistent quality during production, understanding their dynamic properties is critical.
IMCE’s testing solution, based on the non-destructive Resonant Frequency and Damping Analyzer (RFDA), revolutionizes the way these essential properties are measured. Frequency and damping tests align with the main principles of SAE J2598. The RFDA system provides precise, automated evaluation and documentation of modal variables such as natural frequencies and damping values
With the RFDA system, not only can you assess brake pads, but you can also analyze other technical components. By measuring resonant frequencies and damping, our solution offers deep insights into material performance, particularly in damage-related scenarios. High damping factors, for example, may indicate internal defects like cracks, helping to identify potential failures.
Leverage your brake system development and production processes with precise, reliable testing—essential for maintaining the highest safety and quality standards.
Explore how RFDA is redefining the standard for quality control in the brake pad industry.
