Abstract


This study developed an environmentally friendly composite material for use in roller weights of Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) systems in motorcycles. The composite, made from teak wood powder (Tectona grandis L.F.) and epoxy resin, was formulated as an alternative to conventional PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), which is less environmentally sustainable. The composite was fabricated using the hot-press method, with variations in the teak-resin composition ratios (60:40, 70:30, and 80:20) and hot-press temperatures (160°C, 170°C, and 180°C). The results showed that the composite with a 60:40 composition at 180°C and 20 bar pressure achieved the highest tensile strength of 25 MPa, exceeding that of conventional roller weight material (23 MPa). Tensile testing was conducted in accordance with ASTM D3039 standards. In addition to its superior mechanical performance, the material also utilizes biomass waste and has the potential to reduce production costs. These findings demonstrate that teak wood powder composite is a viable candidate for strong, durable roller weight applications and supports the development of more sustainable automotive components.
