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:
- Aluminium hat
- 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.
