Authors Abstract
Content
THE BROAD acceptance of disc brakes has presented a real improvement in braking torque stability. This characteristic has led to its almost universal application on the front axle of passenger cars and light trucks, and on both axles for higher performances.
On trucks, there is the same tendancy to use hydraulic or air actuated front disc brakes.
Our experience on this technology in production since the 1960s, has enabled us to continuously evolve the design to optimum performance and manufacturability.
