In recent weeks, we have received numerous inquiries about whether our centrifugal clutches are asbestos-free.
Our friction linings are manufactured exclusively in Germany and are subject to strict quality and testing requirements. Their asbestos-free status is regularly confirmed by independent material tests carried out by external laboratories in accordance with the VDI 3866 Sheet 5 test procedure.
We assure you: Our products are proven to be asbestos-free and meet the highest quality standards.
Even though the use of asbestos is banned in many countries, friction linings containing asbestos components continue to be manufactured, particularly in China and in some Eastern European countries outside the EU. Consistent compliance with legal requirements and regular testing for prohibited substances are therefore an integral part of our quality management system.
With centrifugal brakes and clutches from SUCO, you are choosing products that form a reliable part of your safety concept and permanently meet the high quality requirements of your customers.
