In 1925, Henry Ford called on us to develop the transmission linings for his Ford Model T. Today, Carlisle Brake & Friction products are called to stop many of the world’s heaviest equipment, in some of the harshest environments across the globe.
Carlisle Brake & Friction application specialists and design engineers will work with your product development team to identify parameters and requirements for your new brake or transmission system design. We evaluate torque, size, pressure, temperature and a variety of other factors to determine and prioritize needs. Our unique full system expertise in hydraulic actuation, mechanical braking and friction material design, assists us in effectively defining and understanding your application requirements, while allowing you to fulfill your goals for performance, reliability, speed-to-market and cost effectiveness.
In addition to designing industry-leading product technologies for a diverse range of severe-duty applications, Carlisle Brake & Friction also strives to provide superior customer service and support. Carlisle is proud to maintain the capacity to be able to work closely with our customers every step of the way, from the development phase through production, to ensure total success and total satisfaction. Carlisle is driven by a passion to consistently deliver quality products with shorter lead-times and superior service, even on short-run custom orders, and that includes taking steps to ensure that each order is accurate, every product performs to our highest standards for quality, and every customer is successful. For Carlisle, the initiative is just one of many on-going efforts to continue and improve on our ability to offer customers the best possible overall experience.
Carlisle Brake and Friction provides complete engineered brake system solutions from the pedal to the wheel. At Carlisle, we design, develop and manufacture a comprehensive and proven line of disc and drum brakes for park and service applications and control systems ranging from manual and boosted master cylinders to full power valves and electro-hydraulic manifolds. Additionally, we maintain the largest portfolio of both wet and dry, brake and transmission friction material competencies in the industry. For decades, Carlisle has remained world-renowned for providing industry leading, engineered friction solutions to our customers' power density needs for brakes, clutches, and driveline components. Whether your application calls for wet or dry friction materials, mechanical braking assemblies, braking actuation solutions, or even full pedal-to-wheel hydraulic braking systems, Carlisle Brake & Friction offers our customers the broadest set of capabilities in our industry.
Competitor’s brake kits may “fit” on Carlisle brakes and may be used to overhaul them. However; to ensure the warranty, quality, performance, and safety of the brake, it is always best practice to use genuine Carlisle brake kits during the overhaul.
Although currently, Carlisle does not have standard training courses for service techs, we do have a full staff of highly trained engineers and technicians that can offer support for training. In addition, Carlisle can offer technical field support.
