FER5100
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Ferodo 5100 is a rigid moulded friction material; it is
charcoal grey in colour, and it has a basis of steel
filaments in a random dispersion. Selected friction
modifiers are combined with a specially developed
binder system to determine both the strength and the
frictional performance characteristics of the material.
Although not physically affected by slight
contamination, FER5100 is not suitable for use under
conditions of immersion in oil. FER5100 has a medium
coefficient of friction, and maintains its performance at
duty levels ranging from light to heavy; it possesses
particularly good thermal stability and has excellent
high-speed frictional behaviour.
This material has been developed for service on disc
brakes for cars and vans for replacement market use;
it is particularly suitable for use on cars and vans
designed for the European market, where it passes all
relevant R90 approval tests.
AVAILABILITY
Manufactured in the form of pads for disc brakes,
integrally moulded to steel backplates.
APPLICATION
Disc brakes for light vehicles of all energy ratings.
