To develop and evaluate the performance and endurance of the products, ECOPADS uses a Bench Dynamometer that works with a set of disc brakes. This is remotely controlled; it is used to evaluate the coefficient of friction and the operation of the brake pads, from variations in speed, temperature, time and the way the brakes are operated.
The dynamometer operates with telemetry data from targets established by the engineering and development departments of the Company and ECOPADS partner teams.
Excellence in Technology
The major difference with ECOPADS is the continuous investment made in new technologies.
Besides this, surveys are conducted, methods and production processes are reviewed, raw materials
are analyzed and products are tested in order to bring the very best in a safety item to the market.
By using steel and raw materials obtained from reputable sources and with acknowledged quality,
the fineblanking process, which is a metal forming process for stamping the platelets; the cross way
mold system in the stamping; the antioxidant finish; known as the Powder Coat and asbestos free
products, ECOPADS manufacture brake pads and shoes with unique characteristics on the market.
