Carbon Ceramic Disk Brakes

Customers a technologically advanced component able to meet the requirements of the most prestigious vehicles in the sport luxury saloon and suv segments or for competition applications.

Carbon ceramic disk brakes.

Wilwood disc brakes is pleased to announce our new line of wccb carbon ceramic dynamic mount rotors. Rather than cast iron or steel carbon ceramic brake discs are made from a composite material. A special feature of the carbon ceramic brake discs is the ceramic composite material they are made from and the possibility to add a friction layer on both of the braking surfaces. Silicon resin is shot through with small grains of carbon fiber and moulded into the shape of a brake disc with regular holes added radially to create cooling vents.

The brembo group has been manufacturing carbon ceramic discs for automotive applications since 2002 when it first supplied these components for the ferrari enzo. It is the main raw material to produce the ceramic matrix composite cmc. They can last depending on the driving style as long as the life of the vehicle on which they are fitted as well as reducing the braking distance from 100 km h to 0 km h of about 3 meters. The higher friction coefficient generated by the carbon reduces the braking activation time which means the car slows down before one with a traditional braking system.

In june 2019 rebrake bought the technology as well as worldwide marketing rights and took over the production. The company that owned the patent for carbon ceramic brake discs refurbishment and produced for us has turned out to be an unreliable partner many times. Carbon ceramic discs have a higher friction coefficient so they require less braking distance than cast iron discs. A carbon ceramic brake disc 1 which can be secured directly to the wheel axle without a metal hub plate the brake disc being made from ceramic reinforced with carbon fibres and having the shape of a hub plate in the vicinity of the axis of rotation 6 and the shape of an annular disc in the vicinity of the outer periphery 2.

The carbon ceramic brakes fitted as standard on many high performance vehicles are constructed in one of two ways either a core of ceramic material reinforced with chopped carbon fibre with an additional ceramic layer on the friction surface or simply the core of ceramic material with chopped carbon fibre and no outer friction layer. This high performance material made from a special mixture of powders resins and fibres in a complex manufacturing process has been used since the 1970s in braking systems for aerospace applications and since the 1980s in motorsports. Wccb carbon ceramic disc brake kits for 2005 present mustang. The carbon ceramic discs offer a 5 6 kg weight saving when compared to a traditional cast iron disc.

All of cmcmat carbon ceramic brake discs were made from the 3d needled carbon fiber preforms. How do you make a carbon ceramic disc.
