The brake disc is a vital part of the vehicle braking system. It works by converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat through friction with the brake pads, facilitating vehicle deceleration and stopping.
Made of high - strength cast iron or advanced composite materials, the brake disc can withstand high friction and heat, ensuring long - lasting performance.
Optimal Heat Dissipation
Designed with an optimized structure for heat dissipation, it effectively reduces the risk of brake fade caused by overheating during continuous braking.
Brake fade is reduces thanks to better heat dissipation and improved braking performance through the drilling on the surface of the slotted rotor discs. Dust, gases and general debris are efficiently removed from the braking surface meaning improved range and speed when it comes to braking which adds to the performance of the car. These characteristics of the slotted disc increase the suitability of the rotor for high performance vehicles making the car easier to use in demanding circumstances while at the same time having more reliable and effective braking power.
Common problem
How often should a brake disc be replaced?
The replacement interval varies. Typically, it can last 30,000 - 70,000 miles, but factors like driving habits, vehicle weight, and road conditions affect its lifespan. Regular inspection is essential.
What materials are brake discs made of?
Commonly made of cast iron, some high - performance discs use carbon - ceramic composites. Cast iron offers durability and good heat dissipation, while carbon - ceramic is lighter and more heat - resistant.
Can a damaged brake disc affect driving safety?
Yes, a damaged or worn - out brake disc can significantly reduce braking performance, increasing the risk of accidents. It's important to address any issues promptly.
