Description

Friction Control personnel have a wide range of product experience in worldwide applications. Our experience encompasses Aerospace, On and Off- Highway Products, Defense-related Mobile Equipment, Construction, Forestry, Medical, Motorcycle and Automated Handling Equipment such as Overhead Cranes / Hoists and Transfer Systems. With our extensive experience in these industries, we can offer a wide range of expertise to both old and new projects.

Friction Control Inc manufactures, bonds and relines both wet and dry friction products. Some of our current business is on the manufacturing of brake and clutch components for cranes and hoists; brakes for paper mills; brakes for Cymonic lift drive units and discs for automated assembly equipment. Along with this, we have experience with supplying complete clutch units to Sikorsky for their heavy lift helicopters (CH-53E), clutch plates to GE Ordinance for personnel carriers, brake plates to Breeze Eastern, brake discs to Dana Corporation, brake discs to Cadillac Gage for the M-1 tank and brake discs to Dowty Aerospace. The reason we can offer such a wide variety of products and services is due to our experiences in these areas along with the networking of services and support functions. We have a close working relationship with some local organizations, which work with us in the areas of engineering, testing and manufacturing when we require additional input. We have in some cases, worked with these companies for fifteen to twenty years and have an ongoing informal partnership with them that has helped to reduce lead times and costs because of this team approach.

Located in Clinton Township Michigan, we are a progressive company that understands the need to provide a product to our customer that meets or exceeds their requirements. We will provide this by using Total Quality Management concepts.
