DBA 5000 Series 2-Piece Slotted Rotor

The DBA 5000 series is a direct replacement two-piece disc brake rotor, designed for drivers seeking performance braking. The DBA 5000 series disc rotors consists of two main components:

  1. Aluminium hat
  2. Cast iron disc rotor

These two components are bolted together with high tensile bolts and lock nuts, hence the term 'two-piece' rotor.

What are the advantages of a two-piece rotor?

The main advantage of a two-piece rotor (with aluminium hat), is the ability to allow the cast-iron disc rotor to expand and contract uniformly as the temperature rises and falls during brake application. The benefits of this is minimal distortion and warping of the cast-iron disc rotor.

Aircraft technology - Lighter & Stronger!

The Aluminium mounting bell (hat) is made from super-light 6061-T6 Aluminium material, as used in aircraft structural design. The thermal conductivity and high strength of hat allows it to handle large temperature changes. The benfits of this is minimal distortion and warping of the cast-iron disc rotor.

 


 

 

 

DBA 4000 Series 'Club-Spec' Slotted Rotors

DBA 4000 'club-spec' series disc brake rotors are a direct replacement single-piece disc brake rotor, designed for drivers seeking performance braking.

DBA's unique directional wiper slot design limits the possibility of glazing your brake pads and allows for better 'pad-bite' under extreme braking. The wiper slot design constantly improves the disc pad friction face by wiping away the impurities, gases and resins from the friction material.

All DBA 4000 slotted series rotors feature the DBA directional wiper slot design, i.e. Left-handed and Right-handed directional slotting.

TSP is a propriety process specifically developed by DBA for improving the performance of disc brake rotors. Benefits of TSP include:

  • Improved fatigue resistance to minimise surface crazing
  • Reduced rotor fatigue during prolonged heavy braking
  • Quick replacement, minimal 'bedding-in' of rotors

'Thermo-Graphic' markings are placed on the outer edge of each DBA 4000 series disc rotor and are used to monitor the core temperatures that are achieved during braking application. All DBA 4000 series rotors include 'Thermo-Graphic' markings. Click here for more information about these markings.

The DBA 4000 series (Slotted) are suitable for drivers seeking performance braking.


 

DBA Slotted/Cross-Drilled Combo Rotor

  • Drill holes reduce mass, lower brake temperatures and help battle out-gassing.
  • Special slots, (which are non-directional and designed to work in combination with the cross-drilling) help dissipate water, dirt and dust and further combat out-gassing.
  • Slots de-glaze the pads, ensuring improved contact between pad and rotor.
  • In combination, the cross-drilling and slotting processes give more stopping power and less fade during repeated heavy brake applications.
