Original ATE brake discs are balanced, so steering wheel wobble cannot occur. These discs are carburized, resulting in improved heat conductivity. Judder and noise are reduced, while durability is optimized.

A heat-compensating groove regulates the temperature flux in the friction ring surfaces of the brake disc bowl, minimizing disc distortion. The brake pads can be easily broken in due to reduced surface roughness. Compared with competing brands, the tolerances with respect to lateral run out (max 30 u) and material thickness (disc thickness variation DTV max 10 u) are extremely small. The tolerance of the center bore is very close, reducing imbalances and vertical out-of-true. This facilitates a longer life for the wheel suspension and wheel bearings.

The fastening screws, which the vehicle manufacturer has intended to be fixed to the wheel hub, are included at no extra charge for most brake discs. This is indicated by a screw symbol on the label of the brake disc package. In addition, the screws are coated to reduce susceptibility to corrosion.

Thanks to a constantly updated product range, you save on storage costs. ATE offers its customers about 95 percent market coverage in Europe (EU5), with almost 1100 current part numbers.
