Bamboo powder can be used as an alternative material non-asbestos
lining brake of motorcycle. In this study, the composition of bamboo powder 35%,
aluminium 15%, MgO 35%, resin 15% has a value that comes closest to the
lining brake controls. The composition of bamboo powder 35%, aluminum 15%,
MgO 35%, resin 15% has 0,82.10-8 mm
2
/kg wear rate. The composition of
bamboo powder 35%, aluminium 15%, MgO 35%, resin 15% has 19.6 kg/mm
2
hardness rate. By varying the composition will get the most wear and optimum
hardness. Variations of the bamboo powder composition greatly affect the rate of
wear and brake lining sample rate of hardness.
