Basic Information

Checking involves the following tasks: 

1. Visual inspection for surface changes in the brake disc friction surfaces and wear indicators. Indication of wear: Connected surface fracture > 1 cm²-arrow-  , without adding up smaller fractures → Checking PCCB Brake Discs (Wear Assessment)  .

2. Check surface roughness (Rk) of brake discs (max. 80 μm permitted) since this affects braking comfort (noises), braking behavior/pedal pressure and brake pad service life → Checking PCCB Brake Discs (Wear Assessment)  .

3. Check brake discs for minimum thickness -X-  . The minimum thickness of the brake disc (example: Min. Th. 37.7 mm) is stamped on the brake disc hub → Checking PCCB Brake Discs (Wear Assessment)  .
