• Composite construction with gray cast iron disc and aluminum hat
• Vented rotor design for improved heat dissipation
• Fully coated disc and hat for enhanced rust resistance
• Nominal thickness of 30.00 mm and discard thickness of 28.40 mm
• Six bolt holes with an outside diameter of 340 mm and height of 73.20 mm

Hella Pagid OE Two Piece Design Features

This rotor is part of the Hella Pagid - OE Two Piece Design Made in Europe (Aluminum Hat, High Carbon Friction Ring, Fully Coated) product line. The two-piece design separates the aluminum hat from the gray cast iron friction ring, reducing unsprung weight and improving thermal management. The high carbon friction ring enhances braking consistency and wear resistance, while the full coating on both the disc and hat provides protection against corrosion, extending the rotor's service life.

Technical Specifications and Benefits

The rotor’s composite construction features a gray cast iron disc for optimal friction and an aluminum hat to reduce weight. The vented design promotes efficient heat dissipation, minimizing brake fade during extended use. With a nominal thickness of 30.00 mm and a discard thickness of 28.40 mm, this rotor maintains structural integrity and performance throughout its lifespan. The fully coated surfaces resist rust and corrosion, which is critical for maintaining braking efficiency and rotor longevity.
