Mechanical Applications

The ideal material solution for your mechanical tasks – from sliding plates to brakes

Our mechanical portfolio includes specialized products developed for extreme operating conditions and maximum efficiency. In addition to high-quality sliding plates that prove their resistance in chemical and petrochemical applications, the Schunk Group is also a leading manufacturer of brake components for wind turbines, engineered to reduce wear and extend service life. Our flange lubrication systems enhance the lifespan of rail vehicles by reducing wear at the wheel-rail interface, delivering reliable performance even under harsh conditions. Our experts provide personalized consultation to help you develop the ideal material solution for your specific needs – whether it’s sliding rings for high-performance pumps, seals for the chemical industry, or friction components for wind energy systems.
