Why change auto brake rotors
Tens of thousands of miles of driving in all types of weather conditions is hard
on brakes. And while drivers expect their vehicle's disc
brake pads to wear out over time, what they don't always realize is that
their vehicle's disc brake rotors are wearing out too.
The pressure and heat generated by the
brake pads rubbing against the brake rotor
combined with the dirt and debris that gets between them wears away metal,
slowly removing the material that was designed to act as a heat sink to maintain
braking performance and efficiency.
Once brake rotors have worn to their minimum thickness it's time to replace them
along with the brake pads.
Brembo brake rotors
is a worldwide leader in the engineering, development and production of braking systems and components
for automobiles, motorcycles and commercial vehicles in the Original Equipment,
Aftermarket, Racing and High Performance market segments.
Starting with a casting from a Brembo foundry that assures uniform thickness, Brembo
OE Replacement Brake Rotors are machined to exacting tolerances (the rotor run-out
tolerance is only 0.0025", about half of the industry norm), feature a braking surface
finish (ground or fine turned) compatible with the vehicle's OE specifications and
are electronically balanced to minimize the possibility of vibration.
Brembo offers its OE Replacement Rotors with the same levels of quality, technology
and performance that have earned it Dodge Viper, Ferrari, Ford Mustang Cobra and
Mercedes-Benz OEM fitments. All Brembo OE Replacement Brake Rotors are manufactured
under QS-9000 and ISO 9001 certifications to ensure the highest level of quality.
Brembo brake rotors offer applications
for most every automobile domestic to import, compact car to luxury SUV.
Zimmermann Ventilated Sport Brake Rotors / Discs
Otto Zimmermann GmbH
Otto Zimmermann GmbH had been developing and producing high quality motor vehicle
components for the car manufacturers and spare parts market. Moving to a new location
in Sinsheim in 1990 became a landmark for Otto Zimmermann GmbH. To date Otto Zimmermann
GmbH has increased the facilities including production and storage space to cover
11.000 square meters.
The production programme includes more than 1000 varied brake and engine components
that are marketed and exported via the trade wholesalers to 60 different countries.
Zimmermann long-term aim is to have
a cost effective and extensive share in all the motor vehicle markets worldwide.
In the year 2000 the founding of the Otto
Zimmermann Truck GmbH enables the trading partners in the commercial vehicles
division to profit from an individual marketing concept.
The Zimmermann ventilated sport
brake rotor/disc was developed using the experience gained in motor sports. All
sport brake discs are made out of high quality heat resistant material. In conjunction
with the ventilated brake disc surface Zimmermann sport brake rotor/disc forms an
optimal braking system.
The Zimmermann Know-How was achieved
through experience gained in racing sport. The technology is a guarantee for your
safety and the efficiency of the brake system.
All our Zimmermann sport brake
rotors/discs were put through extensive trials on the Hockenheim Ring and
as sole German manufacturer we guarantee under extreme conditions with more than
250 references from the ABE of RW TÜV.
For more than 50 years Zimmermann has been delivering tested and tried brake and
engine components to well-known car-manufacturers and the spare parts market. The
all-round programme enables Zimmermann to offer the high quality suitable
disc brake drum for practically every vehicle on the market.
Permanent investments in measuring instruments, test facilities and qualified workers
are obligatory for us and the first essential for a continual improvement process
at Zimmermann. Starting from the model and the casting of the disc brake rotors cast
iron parts to the finished product all quality relevant details are recorded and
analyzed and flow into the continual quality improvement treasurer in all manufacturing
process.
The wear holes of a Zimmermann
sport brake rotors/discs are equipped with oversized holes. Apart from the
specific braking advantages the wear hole has a further advantage. It is so constructed
that one can continually observe when the minimal parallelism has been reached.
When the wear hole is no longer visible through the bore it is necessary to change
the brake rotor/disc because it is not within the tolerance.
Zimmermann sport brake
rotors/discs are compatible with OEM brake systems.
