Test Values And Wear Limits For PCCB Brakes

Information 

The following condition criteria can make replacement necessary depending on the wear of the PCCB brake discs (new generation without  indicators in the friction surface):

• Too many damaged carbon fibres in the PCCB brake disc (wear caused by the effects of temperature).
• Check PCCB brake discs while complying with the measuring prerequisites using VAS 6813 Tester for PCCB brake discs.
• It is no longer necessary to check the brake disc minimum thickness for this generation of brake discs.

Checking thickness of brake pads

• If brake pad wear is indicated by the warning light, the warning contact (sender including wire and plug connection) must be replaced.
• Replacement of the warning contact can be avoided by replacing the brake pads before a pad thickness -Arrows-  of 2.5 mm is reached.
• Warning contacts must be replaced if the core of the wire is worn.
• If only the plastic part of the warning contact is worn, the warning contacts can be re-used.
