A unique rubber-to-metal composite material designed to solve noise and vibration problems.
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Kalmarmanufactures a wide range ofnoise damping shims / insulatorsthat are used when endurance against thermal, chemical and mechanical stress is required. This is combined with outstanding sound damping, sealing, vibration insulation, compressibility and bonding capacity.
The materials consist of different combinations of layers of rubber, carbon steel, stainless steel, fibre glass, cold pressure adhesives, acrylic or silicone based and hot sensitive glues.
Our unique rubber-to-metal composite materials for noise damping in disc brakes combine a number of valuable properties: vibration insulation, compressibility and excellent adhesion. The rubber composite materials are excellent for applications with demanding insulation for vibration and noise. The materials retain their integrity even when subjected to high pressure and high temperature.
Noise damping components in brakes have to endure enormous strains and tension - extreme temperature, mechanical stress, salt, water, oil etc… Testing one and the same brake system in mountain and desert country, as well as in urban traffic and on the open highway is a costly and time consuming process.
We simplify this process by running tests in our fully computerized brake-noise dynamometers, equipped with unique acclimatiser. This allows us to literally test a brake in any climate in the world.

Shim Selector App
The first Trelleborg app for damping solutions, the Shim Selector is designed to give Brake NVH test engineers quick and easy access to the extensive range ofShim materialsused for elimination of specific brake noise problems. With only a few parameter inputs, such as temperature and frequency, the Shim Selector will propose the optimal solution for the given noise problem. Also included is a mail notification function, making it possible to request sample material for dynamometer testing without leaving the app.
Features:
A brand new sound frequency detector with the ability to record the sound of a brake noise occurrence and display the frequency of noise.
A quick search function for quick and easy proposal of test materials
An Advanced Search option to specify material type and material properties
An audio list of the top-10 brake noises
Parameter input based shim material selection
A filtering function to refine the selection, including by type of adhesive, type of steel, steel thickness, rubber on one or two sides, material overall
