The recognized superiority of Gatke Asbestos Brake Lining and Clutch Facings results from a unique appreciation of service requirements and years of specialized development to meet changing conditions. Gatke's Deep Well Woven Brake Lining was developed especially to stand the heat and consistently maintain the great holding power so essential and deep well drilling. It feeds off smoothly without grabbing or chattering from the top of the hole all the way down. Does not score flanges at service temperatures. Tremendous wear resistance gives a maximum ton-mile service with fewer adjustments and reduced maintenance. Standard equipment with the vast majority of rigs manufacturers. Furnished in die-pressed blocks or segments for any break band, also in rolls. Gatke makes the right brake lining for every oil field application.

Has product images, description, application and specifications to provide product details.

Unbound from a large rare 1946-1947 Composite Catalog, this unique old one-page technical brochure would display beautifully matted and framed. Nice graphics. A fabulous addition to your retro oilfield petroleum industry library.
