TMD Friction has confirmed 2019 dates for its popular brake training classes.
TMD says the classes are scheduled for April 17, July 17 and Oct. 2, 2019. The courses are different from brake maintenance trainings that are offered and necessary for maintaining equipment. The TMD version starts with friction raw materials and discusses the art and science of combining them, as well as the interactions between them. Next, raw materials are combined to manufacture disc pads and drum linings. TMD says effects on brake performance of various raw materials are reviewed.
Additionally, TMD says three designs of foundation brakes (wedge, cam and disc) and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
After foundation brakes, vehicle air systems complete the training from raw materials to truck systems. TMD says there will be demonstrations, as well as interesting questions and discussions. TMD says the class is useful for anyone in the industry, both OE and aftermarket, wanting to increase their knowledge of friction for commercial vehicles.
