Disc Brake Rotors
Brake Booster: Making Brake Application Less Hard
The Mercedes-Benz brake system is composed of two brake assemblies: hydraulic and friction brakes. The friction brake assembly sits right smack on brake operation flash points, while the hydraulic brake parts are located adjacent to the engine—where they are on high ground—to provide supplemental braking and enhance the friction brakes.
On a Mercedes-Benz disc brake set, friction brakes consist of a rotor/disc and a pair of brake pads, while on a drum brake assembly a drum takes up the place of the disc and the brake shoes that of the brake pads. Friction brakes use the traditional clamp-style method: a piston fitted with brake shoes, or a caliper with brake pads, tightening on a rotor to retard the motion of the car.
Every time the caliper/piston grips the rotor, the rotational motion of the rotor turns into heat. Because of a potential heat buildup, friction brake parts are made of materials with high heat resistance. The brake pads, for example, are embedded with materials—commonly asbestos—which make the pads last long in the face of chronic heat present in the Mercedes-Benz brake assembly. The brake discs, on the other hand, are fitted with heat vents. The brake disc contact surface comes in either slotted or cross-drilled design, a structural feature that exhausts heat away from the brake assembly.
Friction brake parts inevitably succumb to heat, with its brake pads thinning out and/or the disc getting deformed on account of the friction. Unavoidably, they need to be replaced. In the event that the friction brake parts lose the up-to-specs brake power, the Mercedes-Benz brake system borrows time from its hydraulic brake assembly.
Composed of a network of brake hoses, brake booster, and hydraulic pumps, hydraulic brakes supply brake fluid in the Mercedes-Benz brake system. With the brake system well oiled, brake operation becomes less hard on the friction brake parts. Central to the Mercedes-Benz hydraulic brakes is the brake booster, typically the black canister that sits snug under the car hood. The Mercedes-Benz brake booster consists chiefly of a vacuum booster, linked to the master cylinder piston and the brake pedal by a push rod. In the event that the friction brake parts thin out, brake operation is compromised. In most cases, it shows up in the form of deep pressing on the brake pedal. The Mercedes-Benz brake booster eases brake application by providing the necessary brake assist.
Inside the vacuum booster, a diaphragm partitions the canister between the low-pressure vacuum and the high-pressure ambient air. A hose from the engine opens to a clever valve and supplies the vacuum to the booster. When the brake pedal is pressed, the rod cracks the valve open, allows ambient air to get into the canister and push the vacuum side of the diaphragm, and thrusts the rod on to the master cylinder piston. The master cylinder piston then engages the Mercedes-Benz brake system to retard the motion of the car.
As the brake pedal is released a one-way valve, the check valve, sucks the air out of the vacuum booster while trapping the vacuum inside. This is an important after-operation process in the Mercedes brake booster. It restores the vacuum inside the canister, allowing the rod to disengage from the master cylinder piston and free up the drive wheels.

EBC Performance Brake Rotors $259.95 The wider slot actually draws cool air across the pad surface keeping pads and rotors cooler. They also expel dust, dirt and hot gases better than fine slots which eventually fill with rust and scale and become ineffective in our opinion. The blind drilled holes break down surface gases when braking from speed but do not weaken the rotor cross section as can happen with through drilling, thereby lessening the chance of rotors cracking over time and heavy use. EBC brake rotors, drilled and slotted are available for most import and domestic cars and light trucks. Zinc anodized for European cars and imports Black anodized for USA domestic vehicles Wide aperture grooves Special disc alloys UNIQUE to EBC Dimple hole construction Balanced geometry For more info on EBC Slotted and Drilled Rotors, visit ebcbrakes.com |

Sport Rotors (Slotted, Cross Drilled, Cross Drilled & Slotted) Must Be Purchased In Pairs. The Word "(PAIR)" Indicates Sport Rotor Models Therefore Must Be Purchased As A Pair. Slotted brake rotors reduce brake fade. Slotted rotors also improves rotor cooling, again defeating brake fade. On Slotted rotors, temperatures can be reduced by as much as 200 degrees during extreme braking when compared to stock rotors. Brembo Sport Slotted brake rotors are sold in axle pairs. Together with its unique know-how in the manufacturing of braking systems for high performance vehicles, Brembo is able to guarantee top quality standards and the most advanced technological knowledge, making it a world market leader in its sector. Brembo is the natural choice for use in the most sophisticated sports vehicles and high-class saloon cars. Its skill ensures an unsurpassable performance level in the best cars produced in Europe, the USA and Japan today. The electronic balancing system allows to eliminate any possible difference in the weight split of vented discs, avoiding vibration risks. The perfectly uniform thickness of the braking surfaces ensures top performance, maximum comfort and much higher durability of the components. The precise finish of the braking surface, ground or fine turned depending on OE specifications, ensures improved pad-discs fit and better running-in. The extremely precise tolerance guarantees correct run-out values and the elimination of several types of disc vibrations. Features: Maximum safety in time: Careful design, based on advanced calculation systems, controls the heat transmission from the braking surface to the hat section. Advanced solutions: the use of specific cast irons, coming from the integration of foundries in the production process, allows for exclusive technical and planning know-how. High comfort and longer durability: Exact tolerances guarantee maximum performance of braking system components. Better synergy between the friction material and disc: Careful finishing guarantees a turned or ground braking surface as for Original Equipment specifications. Reduction of vibration risks: An electronic balancing system is used during the production process to eliminate possible unbalanced weight distribution of ventilated discs. Prices shown are per rotor. Rotors must be purchased in pairs. |
