Product Line Details: C-TEK Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets

The C-TEK Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets by Centric are designed to provide dependable braking performance with semi-metallic friction material that is integrally molded to the backing plate. This construction enhances pad durability and wear characteristics. The inclusion of pad shims helps minimize noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother braking experience. These pads are prepared for pad wear sensors, allowing for easy integration with vehicle monitoring systems when sensors are installed separately.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake pad set includes four pads, each with an outer and inner pad height of 2.795 inches (71.0 mm), width of 4.701 inches (119.4 mm), and overall thickness of 0.630 inches (16.0 mm). The friction material is semi-metallic and integrally molded to the backing plate, ensuring consistent contact and wear. While mounting hardware is not included, the pads come with shims to reduce noise. One pad is drilled for a thin sensor and another for a thick sensor, supporting compatibility with different wear sensor types.
