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 fully coated surfaces reduce rust formation, extending the rotor's service life, while the high carbon content in the gray cast iron material improves thermal stability and wear resistance. This combination is particularly beneficial for Audi A8 Quattro and S8 vehicles that require consistent braking under demanding conditions.

Detailed Product Description

The Pagid 355122442 disc brake rotor is constructed from gray cast iron, a material known for its excellent heat dissipation and mechanical strength. The rotor features a vented design, allowing air to flow between the rotor surfaces to reduce heat buildup during braking. Both the disc and hat areas are coated to resist rust and corrosion, which is critical for maintaining performance and longevity. With a nominal thickness of 22.00 mm and a discard thickness of 20.00 mm, this rotor provides a clear service limit to ensure safe operation. The full cast construction enhances the rotor's durability, while the 6 bolt holes and 280 mm outside diameter ensure precise compatibility with Audi A8 Quattro and S8 models.

Applications and Problem Solving
