Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated Product Line

This rotor is part of the Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated line, which focuses on enhanced durability and corrosion protection. The high carbon content improves thermal stability and wear resistance, while the full coating on both the disc and hat surfaces helps prevent rust, extending the rotor's lifespan under various driving conditions.

Detailed Product Description

The Pagid 355122052 disc brake rotor is engineered from gray cast iron, a material known for its excellent heat absorption and dissipation properties, critical for maintaining braking efficiency. The rotor features a solid disc design with a 6-bolt hole pattern, matching the specifications required for BMW 318ti and Z3 vehicles. Both the disc and hat surfaces are coated to resist rust and corrosion, which is essential for maintaining rotor integrity over time. With a nominal thickness of 12.00 mm and a discard thickness of 10.40 mm, this rotor provides clear service limits to ensure safe replacement intervals. The full cast construction adds to the rotor's strength and durability, while the 286 mm outside diameter and 51.70 mm height ensure proper fitment and compatibility.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on BMW 318ti and Z3
• Addresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Solves corrosion-related rotor degradation with coated finish
• Restores braking performance affected by rotor thickness below discard limit
• Improves rotor longevity in high humidity or salt-exposed environments

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Pagid 355122052 rotor, ensure the rotor surface and hub are clean and free of debris to prevent uneven wear. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets the nominal thickness specification. Use the correct torque settings for the 6-bolt pattern to secure the rotor properly. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance and avoid premature rotor wear.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Pagid rotors undergo strict quality control to meet OEM standards for fitment and performance. The Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated rotors are designed to provide consistent braking under normal operating conditions. Warranty details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or manufacturer documentation.
