Merkur Brake Rotors

As car owners and more importantly as drivers, safety should be your topmost priority whenever you get behind the wheel, start the engine and dash off. Because automobiles are intended to be used for high speed acceleration, it must be equipped with something that will slow it down or will completely hold it motionless during untoward circumstances such as getting out of control of the steering wheel, tires blowing up, person or animals suddenly running across the street, vehicle going into your lane or the preceding vehicle hastily flashes a red light while in a complete stop. Such device that you need is a reliable and efficient braking system.

It is called a system because it is comprised of various components that are taken as one to deliver great slowing down and stopping power to your vehicle. Such components include the brake hose, brake pedal, brake lines, intake manifold connection, master cylinder, parking brake cables and lever, vacuum booster and hose, brake pads, brake shoes and brake drums for drum brakes, and brake calipers and brake rotors for disc brakes. Most vehicles nowadays use the more efficient and more reliable disc brakes instead of the yesteryears’ drum brakes. The vital components of the disc brakes are the caliper and the rotor.

A brake rotor like the Merkur brake rotor is also called brake disc. Brake rotors are the parallel-faced circular or disc-like plate component that is clamped, through the brake caliper, by the bake pads whenever the driver applies pressure to the brake pedal. Brake rotors are to be seen only in disc brakes just like the drum brakes’ brake drum. When the pads are heavily pressed against the rotors, friction is produced. This friction will be used to transform the vehicle’s forward motion into heat energy, and will cause the vehicle to slow down or halt. Most rotors feature a series of vents to allow the outside air to enter and eventually cool down the heated rotors during its operation.

Due to constant use, brake rotors also come to a point of fading, wearing out and other forms of deterioration. In this regard, it is important to have it machined to take away the rotor’s “glazed” surface to keep it highly reliable and efficient. However, there are times when the rotor’s defect could no longer be fixed, and replacement is the only thing left to do. For your brake rotors needs, you can start browsing our catalogue.
