Technical Specifications and Features

The DuraGo BP1640C brake pads feature a friction material thickness of 17.8 mm (0.7 inches) on both inner and outer pads, ensuring ample material for extended use. The pads are slotted to help channel away heat and gases generated during braking, which helps maintain consistent performance. Chamfered edges reduce the likelihood of noise and vibration during operation. The friction material is ceramic-based, providing a balance of quiet operation and effective stopping power. The backing plates are made of iron and the friction material is securely bonded to the backing plate for structural integrity. Pad shims are included to assist with noise reduction and proper installation, though mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included.
