Hella Pagid - coated, high carbon (full-cast disc) Product Line

This rotor is part of the Hella Pagid - coated, high carbon (full-cast disc) product line, which focuses on combining high carbon content with a full-cast disc design to improve thermal stability and wear resistance. The coating applied to both the disc and hat surfaces enhances corrosion protection, extending the rotor's service life under demanding driving conditions. This line is tailored for standard replacement applications, ensuring compatibility and performance for BMW vehicles requiring reliable braking components.

Detailed Product Description

The Pagid 355132501 brake rotor is constructed from gray cast iron, a material known for its excellent heat absorption and dissipation properties, critical for maintaining braking efficiency. The rotor features a composite construction with a vented design that allows air to flow between the rotor faces, reducing heat buildup during braking. With a nominal thickness of 24 mm and a discard thickness of 22.4 mm, this rotor meets standard replacement specifications. The mill balancing process ensures minimal vibration and noise, contributing to a smoother driving experience. The coated finish on both the disc and hat surfaces provides rust resistance, which is essential for maintaining rotor integrity over time, especially in environments prone to moisture and road salt.
