ATE
General Information: Sure Thing, ATE!
The PowerDisc shows what it can do.
Looks better - wears less
The brake disc with a profile pays off:
The cleaning effect of the continuous groove ensures more
even wear of the brake disc and a marked reduction in the
scoring that can occur on both brake disc and brake pads.
Score-free wear even in heavy-duty use extends the life of
the brake discs - and also offers better looks, particularly
for wheel rims of today's modern and open style.
The multipurpose groove permits visual detection of wear
at a glance, without awkward, time-consuming and expensive
removal or special measuring tools.
If the entire groove has been worn away, the brake disc
has reached its thickness limit and must be replaced.
The high temperatures generated during braking result
in gases between the brake disc and brake pad. These gases c
onsiderably impair the braking effect (fading).
The PowerDisc channels off the gases via the
multifunctional groove and in so doing ensures
dependable braking.
This brake disc has been thought out down to the last detail
:
Conventional brake discs have to be cleaned before
assembly in an often very expensive and time
consuming process using environmentally harmful agents.
Poor cleaning often causes permanent impairment of the
friction between the brake pads and the brake disc.
The new corrosion protection on the ATE PowerDisc,
however, no longer has to be removed before assembly
and so remains on the brake disc. Protected and sealed
in this way, the ATE PowerDisc is less prone to rust,
shortens the installation time, and helps protect the enviro
nment.
Many benefits - thanks to corrosion protection
The ATE PowerDisc is certified for general use in
Germany (ABE)
- i.e. no entry in the vehicle documents is needed.
That saves you time and money.
Braking like the professionals
The complete range
Greater safety and longer life make the ATE PowerDisc
a disc that could well be a big success, which you can
have installed by your garage right away. And if you
have any other questions to do with brakes and the
ATE product range, your friendly brake expert there
will only be too glad to help you.
Our ATE PowerDisc has already been proven in many
long-distance racing events and touring car championships.
And with its outstanding braking characteristics on
both dry and wet surfaces, it's the ideal choice for
the New Beetle and Lupo Cups, and in the Formula König
and Formula 3.
Everything's in favour of the ATE PowerDisc:
Water and dirt can considerably reduce the effectiveness
of the brake pads. Our answer is: the innovative
ATE PowerDisc, the only brake disc with a continuous
multipurpose groove, which channels off water, dirt
and the gases generated between the brake disc
and the brake pads by high temperatures during braking,
rather like the tread of a tyre does. This considerably
increases your safety, reduces scoring, and extends the
life of the brake disc.
And besides braking so well, it looks better for a longer pe
riod.
The ATE PowerDisc with multipurpose groove has
clear advantages:
- general certification (ABE)
- better response in wet conditions
- shorter running-in period for the newly fitted pad and dis
c
- better appearance
- wear detection
- improved corrosion protectionTechnical Information: For vehicles without ABS, a PowerDisc can be used on the rea
r axle only if there is one on the front axle.
The General Operating Permit (ABE) for the PowerDisc applies
to operation on German roads in accordance with the German
Road Traffic Registration Ordinance (StVZO). Other countries
may require additional type approvals for use on roads.
