Brake discs with wheel bearing

Two elements – One unit

Discs with an integrated wheel bearing is particularly popular with French automotive manufacturers.

Benefits: 

  • Anti-corrosion coating *
  • Time-saving assembly
  • No need to replace the bearing
  • Avoids faulty assembly when pressing in the bearing
  • Nut and dust cap included 

* application specific

Brake discs with wheel bearing and ABS sensor ring

All three made easy

This type of disc is available for ABS sensor systems with a gear or magnetic ring. 

Benefits: 

  • Anti-corrosion coating *
  • Time-saving assembly
  • No need to replace the bearing
  • Avoids faulty assembly when pressing in the bearing
  • Nut and dust cap included

* application specific

Two-piece composite brake discs

CAST IRON MEETS ALUMINIUM

The two-piece Textar brake discs are another innovative product in the Light Technology range of TMD Friction. Each consist of a top hat and a friction ring, which are connected by means of rivets. By using aluminium for the top hat, weight savings of 15 20 percent can be achieved.

With the new composite brake discs, Textar offers to the aftermarket the innovative benefits of two-piece brake discs, which are also used in the original equipment sector:

    Benefits:

    • Optimisation of the driving properties by a reduction of the unsprung mass
    • Lowering of the fuel consumption and thus verifiable CO2 savings
    • Improved thermal conductivity leads to reduced thermal distortion and thus to minimised brake judder
    • Greater resistance to loading thanks to an optimisation of the brake dynamics
    • Improved visual appearance of the brake discs, e.g. when used with alloy wheels
    • Corrosion protection
    • Reduction in braking noise (less susceptive to screeching)
    • Reduced assembly time: No removal of protective oil necessary
    • Time saving thanks to assembly aid, fixing screws in most cases included

    – Reduced weight

    High-carbon friction ring

    – Improved heat conductivity

    – Less prone to warping

    – Minimized brake judder

    Innovation through

    A BETTER AESTHETIC

    To prevent oxidation with oxygen and therefore maintain the highest level of braking performance and the visual appearance of the brake disc, Textar has improved the PRO series products using a special coating process.

    Benefits: 

    • Improved visual appearance of the brake discs, e.g. when used with alloy wheels
    • Corrosion protection
    • Maximum braking comfort thanks to the effective selection of materials
    • Reduced assembly time: No removal of protective oil necessary

    Coated brake discs, high carbon

    More Know how – Pro+

    Characteristics of High Carbon: 

    • Increased strength thanks to the greater proportion of carbon in the product
    • Optimised brake reaction: Brake judder is minimised due to reduced disc distortion
    • More even heat distribution due to better thermal conductivity
    • Higher thermal load capacity

      Benefits: 

      • Reduction in braking noise (less susceptible to screeching)
      • Corrosion protection
      • Improved visual appearance of the brake discs, e.g. when used with alloy wheels
      • Reduced assembly time: No removal of protective oil necessary
      • Time saving thanks to assembly aid, in future fixing screws included

      Uncoated
      brake discs

      QUALITY. FOR EVERY REQUIREMENT.

      Textar uncoated brake discs are protected from corrosion by an oil coating which must  be removed prior to fitting with Textar brake cleaner, for example. 

      Particularly recommended for: 

      • Maintenance and repair of older vehicles
      • Users of vehicles with steel rims or wheel covers
