A diamond friction shims is a pad used to increase the coefficient of friction.
Diamond friction‑enhancing shims are a type of shim designed to increase the coefficient of friction. They feature high hardness, low friction coefficient, excellent thermal conductivity and great corrosion resistance. Its working principle mainly includes the following aspects:
- **High Hardness**: Diamond is one of the hardest known natural substances, with a Mohs hardness of approximately 10. This gives diamond friction shims extremely high wear resistance, enabling them to retain their geometry and performance for long‑term service under high‑friction conditions.
- **Low Friction Coefficient**: The surface of diamond friction shims is smooth with a low friction coefficient. When contacting mating friction surfaces, sufficient friction force can be generated with relatively little applied force, which helps reduce energy loss and heat build‑up.
- **Excellent Thermal Conductivity**: Diamond boasts outstanding thermal conductivity. It can rapidly conduct and dissipate generated heat to avoid overheating of friction contact surfaces.
- **Corrosion Resistance**: Diamond is a chemically inert material with strong resistance to acids, alkalis and corrosive gases. Therefore, diamond friction shims can operate reliably in various harsh working environments.
