requirements in applications like
agricultural tractors, class 6-8 trucks,
and industrial equipment.
Today’s improved clutch designs, plus
refined friction material technology,
have gone a long way in improving wear
rates and providing smoother engagement.
Leading the change has been Miba AG, one
of the world’s largest manufacturers of
sintered metal materials. Founded in
1927 and headquartered in Austria, Miba
has grown from a one-man locksmith shop
into a major O.E. producer of friction
material, engine bearings, and
automotive structural components.
Miba’s reputation for innovation and
product performance speaks for itself!
That’s why the leading O.E. clutch
manufacturers rely on Miba sintered
friction material for unsurpassed
coefficient of friction, low wear, and
the ability to withstand high operating
temperatures. In North America, Miba
sintered clutch buttons are found in
applications ranging from Fuso and Mack
trucks to John Deere and Caterpillar
industrial applications. What’s more,
for safety and quiet operation, the
makers of the French TGV and German ICE
“Bullet Trains” insist on Miba sintered
material for braking at top speeds up to
186 mph.
Since 1988, Miba and AMS Automotive have
created a proven and effective
partnership built around the individual
strengths of both companies. As the
exclusive aftermarket source for Miba
friction material in North America, AMS
focuses on providing other aftermarket
clutch manufacturers and remanufacturers
with a multitude of invaluable services
including same day shipments, 100% order
fill-rates, technical assistance, and
marketing support.
Our involvement with Miba, however,
extends beyond marketing and
distribution expertise into product
design and development. AMS combines
Miba sintered friction material, along
with other premium components, to create
an exclusive line of heavy-duty and
high-performance “Series Upgrade” Clutch
Kits. Geared toward passenger cars and
light/medium-duty trucks, Series
Upgrades from AMS Automotive ensure
optimum performance in extreme
conditions where O.E.M. specs just don’t
measure up. |
