Groove Patterns for Every Application
GMP Friction Products develops grooving and friction
materials to meet the unique needs of each application.
The specific grooving pattern for a product is based on
the oil flow needed for optimum performance.
Our wide range of integrally molded groove patterns
allows our parts to provide high energy, low wear, unpar-
alleled durability, and competitive friction levels compared
to other materials. Our engineering staff will work with
you to help you decide the best pattern for your project.
Spiradial
This grooving pattern may be used in wet (with oil) appli-
INDUSTRIAL cations in which there is limited oil available due to the
design of the brake or clutch.
Differential
Also known as the “sunburst” pattern, this relatively
Scommon
P E C I A L T Ygrooving
design is generally suitable for ordinary
applications in which sufficient oil is available.
Spiral
Spiral grooving patterns are normally used in sump-type
applications, in which the part is partially submersed in oil.
Radial GMP0075A-7/07
Radial grooving may be used in either wet or dry applica-
tions, depending on the specific design requirements.
DISK WITH RADIAL
Inside-Outside-Slot-Spiral (IOSS)
This complex, high-energy grooving pattern can meet the
demands of severe applications in which there is very
little oil or only a spray of oil available.
TRANSMISSION DISK
Plain
The plain lining, with no grooving, can be used for dry
brakes or clutches.
Custom grooving and logo stamps are available
upon request.
