Brembo
SGL Carbon Ceramic Brakes (BSCCB), a joint venture between Brembo and SGL
Carbon in the field of carbon ceramic brake discs, widens its offering of
carbon ceramic discs intended for original equipment with the new DYATOM™ disc, the premium solution which takes the performance of carbon ceramic brakes
to the next level.
BSCCB
is a world leader in the field of design, development, production and sale of
brake discs made of carbon ceramic material mounted on sport and super sport applications,
such as SUVs and luxury sedans.
DYATOM™ combines
motorsport-derived technology with exceptional wear resistance to achieve
maximum thermal performance. Ensuring maximum braking power, this new solution
fits perfectly with the new ford GT MK II, the first super sport application of
this new brake disc.
The
chemistry in the DYATOM™ carbon ceramic disc, with its five layers,
provides extremely high thermal performance, with outstanding wear resistance
even under severe track usage; Through this effect, the brake pad performance
is supported by a lower operating temperature. Therefore, the brake can be
downsized to cope with the same braking power. Equally at this size, it can
also handle an increased level of braking power.
Advantages:
- Lower operating temperature
- allows for higher brake performance
- less friction material wear
- improved brake pedal stability thanks to a lower brake fluid temperature
- Downsizing of the DYATOM™ carbon ceramic brake disc
- provides a more efficient material utilization
- reduces unsprung masses resulting in better vehicle dynamics and more
efficient wheel contact with the road
- shorter stopping distances
- long-lasting and enduring braking system
- almost no abrasive wear on disc surface
- discs can be applied with copper-free pads
The
new Ford MK II features a front brake system consisting of Brembo aluminum
brake calipers, six pistons, radial, monobloc coupled with DYATOM™ 394x38 mm ceramic carbon discs and 148 cm2 brake pads. At the rear, however,
the brake system will consist of Brembo aluminum brake calipers, four monobloc
pistons (M4.36 / 38), ceramic carbon brake disc, 360x32 mm and Electronic
parking brake system.
