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 combining high carbon content with a full coating process. This combination improves rotor durability and resistance to rust, making it suitable for demanding driving conditions. The fully coated finish on both the disc and hat extends the service life by protecting against corrosion, which is especially beneficial for Mercedes-Benz vehicles like the CL550, S400, and S550.

Detailed Product Description

The Pagid 355122972 disc brake rotor is constructed from gray cast iron, a material known for its excellent thermal conductivity and wear resistance. Its vented design allows air to flow through the rotor, reducing heat buildup during braking and minimizing the risk of brake fade. The X drilled surface further aids in heat dissipation and helps maintain consistent braking performance. Both the disc and hat are coated to resist rust, which is critical for maintaining rotor integrity over time. With a nominal thickness of 32.00 mm and a discard thickness of 30.00 mm, this rotor provides a balance between longevity and safety. The 6 bolt hole configuration and 335 mm diameter ensure compatibility with specified Mercedes-Benz models.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Compatible with Mercedes-Benz CL550, S400, and S550 models
• Addresses brake rotor wear and thickness reduction
• Helps reduce brake fade caused by overheating
• Prevents rust and corrosion on braking surfaces
• Improves braking stability with vented and drilled design

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness before installation
• Clean mounting surface to prevent uneven rotor seating
• Torque bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary
• Perform a bed-in procedure after installation for optimal performance

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Pagid rotors are manufactured to meet strict quality standards, ensuring consistent performance and durability. The rust-resistant coating and high carbon content contribute to extended rotor life.
