VE10 Friction Modifier VE10 is a layer of PTFE  dots which works as a high load friction modifier. These dots are pressed in pre-bored holes in the base-material. Every high load composite material made from reinforced synthetic fabric, which is impregnated with a polyester thermosetting resin can be used as base-material. This combination with VE10 gives lower friction and can be used in extremely arduous conditions and withstand extremely high loads, including vibrations and high impact applications. It can be produced as wear pads/ strips or mold parts.   Another big advantage is the possibility to have two equal composites running against each other. This will result in a fully corrosion-free, high loaded, light weight combination, which is also maintenance-free.

RG 15 Bearing Material RG 15 is a material having high strength and excellent dimensional stability. The material is a high performance aramid fibre phenolic composite.   RG15 has been specified for the guide bush for friction dampers used on Y39 freight bogies. Using RG15 bushes avoids any risk of seizing and allows a smaller running clearance with the pin, and the wear allowance is higher than with metal bushes. The low modulus of elasticity of this material protects the housing from shocks and reduces damage on expensive bogie frame components.   The friction damper bushes can be designed and manufactured for use on UIC standard Y series freight bogies using friction damper guide bushes.
