Febi's Brake Disc is designed for use in the major service category, specifically in brake disc applications. With a solid type construction and spray-painted surface finish, it provides enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. Key technical advantages include improved braking efficiency due to its precise dimensions (98 x 269 x 269 mm) and reduced risk of brake failure. Dimensions are provided by the supplier and may include packaging dimensions.
Brake discs, or rotors, are metallic circular components integral to a vehicle’s braking system, mounted on the wheel hubs. They function as a friction surface for brake pads, converting kinetic energy into thermal energy via clamping force to decelerate or stop wheel rotation. Discs are typically constructed from gray cast iron, though carbon ceramic and composite materials are also utilized for performance applications. Key characteristics include diameter, thickness, venting style (solid, vented, drilled/slotted), and rotor hat offset. Variation exists between solid, vented, and cross-drilled/slotted designs, impacting heat dissipation and performance characteristics.
