Performance Friction’s mission is to manufacture the absolute best brakes on the market. NO COMPROMISES™

Thousands of races and hundreds of professional championships won every year, Performance Friction® is the true leader in racing technology, supplying Z-Rated® calipers, Direct Drive™ discs, and Carbon Metallic® pads, to teams in every major racing series worldwide – from NASCAR^* to Champ Car^*, from USAC^* to JGRC^*, from Grand AM^* to Formula One^*

Disc Technology

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

With over 7 years of design research and metallurgical development, Performance Friction was awarded 3 separate patents for our computer vision based machining process, full floating Direct Drive attachment system, and advanced slot pattern.

Since first hitting the track in 1998, PFC race discs have won more major championships than any other race disc on the market. Ask any professional racer and you’ll learn the about the numerous benefits of performance Friction’s disc technology.

—————————————————————————————————————

1. 
   Patented slot pattern for more bite, improved release, more efficient pad cleaning, and improved thermal stability.
   

2. 
   High Carbon Alloy with copper and molybdenum for high temperature strength and crack resistance.
   

3. 
   Aircraft quality heat treatment for micro structure alignment and durability.
   

4. 
   Runout less than .0005 inches and thickness variation less than .0002 inches reduces Judder and Pulsation.
   

5. 
   Vanes turned OD and ID for balance to reduce thermal distortion and vibration.
   

6. 
   47 or more vanes for superior thermal capacity.
   

7. 
   Surface finish less than .7 microns for reduced drag and more consistent coefficient of friction.
   

8. 
   100% measured and inspected to meet strict tolerance specifications.
   

Two Piece Direct DriveTM Patented Disc Technology Explained

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

With performance Friction’s NEW two-piece floating Direct Drive Disc, the disc flange floats in the bobbin structure allowing radial and axial expansion of the disc without being constrained by the hub or hat.

Race Calipers

———————————————————

Caliper Technology

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

The caliper, disc, and pads work as a system: dynamically effecting bite, torque, release, and in the end, lap times. Performance Friction’s improvement in pad and disc technology transferred to improvements in caliper design, resulting in exceptional speed and reliability. Professional race teams have seen tremendous success running the Performance Friction package of pads, discs, and calipers in ALMS, ELMS, Grand-AM DP/GT, NASCAR Nextel Cup/Bush/Truck, Speed World Challenge, Formula 3, and HGTC.

It’s Quicker

1. Monoblock FEA Design reduces caliper deflection for less pedal travel and improved response.

2. Abutment Design for optimized torque takeout, which improves release and control.

3. Bleeder Design protects against thread and seat damage.

4. Integrated Bleeder and Bridge Pipe Guards.

5. High Temperature Aluminum Alloy for stiffness and improved pedal feel at the highest temperatures.

6. Electroless Nickel Coating for durability.

7. Short Aspect Ratio 4-Piston Design for a stiffer caliper body, which reduces drag and temperature as well as improving release and control over 6-piston designs.

8. Patented Piston Cap Design reduces fluid temperature by 100℉(55℃)

9. High Tension Seals for proper piston rollback, which reduces drag and improves consistency.
