Show more Textar brake disc They are almost always attached to the brake hub. During braking, the brake pads press on the disc brake and reduce the rotational speed of the disc and thus the whole vehicle. Brake discs are usually made of cast iron or even steel alloys. Just like the brake pads, the brake disc also wears out. However, slower than the pads. With frequently repeated braking operations, the brake discs heat up very strongly and must therefore withstand the highest demands. To withstand extreme loads, there are also discs made of carbon and ceramic. To achieve increased heat resistance, brake discs are sometimes heat-treated. After production, the discs are heated and cooled down again. Furthermore, there are ventilated brake discs. A better braking effect in wet conditions is achieved by perforated or slotted brake discs, because they transport the water standing on the brake disc faster and more effectively through their recesses. Another advantage is that dirt, such as brake dust, disappears more quickly from the brake disc. When it comes to premium-level brake technology, you're on the safe side with Textar. Textar offers innovative solutions, top quality, maximum safety and optimum braking comfort - without compromise and has been doing so for more than 100 years. The Textar brake disc range is therefore manufactured strictly to original equipment tolerances and meets ECE R90 requirements. The Textar range comprises more than 1,650 different brake discs for passenger cars, covering almost 100% of the European vehicle population.
