Tribco Manufactures gear plates, winch and anchor brake linings and a wide variety of transmission friction discs. Tribco friction discs reliably last more than 3 times longer than original equipment. For 4 decades Tribco has been upgrading friction assemblies with their patented Braketex® and Clutchtex® – the only 100% Kevlar® fiber composite lining.
Tribco friction discs lock up faster and smoother, even at higher loads, and provide more heat resistance and keep fluid in wet friction applications clean. Clutchtex® and Braketex® are made in America and deliver the mechanical confidence for ocean duty with bullet-proof Kevlar fibers, together in a better friction composite. It’s a unique product that doesn't deteriorate in heavy-duty use. After initial break-in Clutchtex® delivers higher coefficients of friction and higher torque to benefit any assembly. Longer friction life will reduce unplanned downtime and unscheduled repairs for all marine, oil, construction and industrial brake, clutch and transmission applications. Tribco manufactures upgraded discs for Twin Disc, Borg Warner, Eaton, Masson, ZF, Allison, ABB, Niigata, Falk, Reintjes, Caterpillar, Capitol and many others, if they don't have the disc, pad, plate or part in stock, they can make it.
