A COOL ROTOR DESIGN

DBA 'KANGAROO PAW' - A MAJOR ADVANCE FOR AUSTRALIAN BRAKE ROTOR TECHNOLOGY

Disc Brakes Australia, the country's leading disc brake rotor manufacturer, has introduced an innovative technology, patented as 'Kangaroo Paw' design.

'Kangaroo Paw' is a hi-tech ventilation system designed and manufactured in Australia by Disc Brakes Australia (DBA) engineers. 'Kangaroo Paw' technology increases disc rotor efficiency by as much as 20 per cent when compared with conventional rotor designs. The Kangaroo Paw design, comprises 144 diamond-and-tear-drop shaped pillars and columns between the rotor faces, providing greater dimensional stability across the rotor.

The design works as an air pump designed to extract hot air. Aerodynamic turbulence around the individual pillars and columns is generated, promoting increased cooling by forcing air out from within the internal areas of the rotor.

'Kangaroo Paw' provides the following key benefits and all contribute to achieve a 20 per cent overall greater efficiency:

• reduced operating temperatures
• reduced brake fade
• reduced rotor stresses, disc thickness variation, run-out, shudder
• greater dimensional stability

These benefits translate directly to reduced wear and increased life of both the disc brake rotor and the brake pads.

Importantly, customers fitting DBA 'Kangaroo Paw' rotors will benefit from significantly better braking performance. This technology is specifically designed for the today's vehicle, covering a wide range of driving styles, from street use to 4WD, including high performance applications.

DBA's transition to 'Kangaroo Paw' disc brake rotors has already begun, and will continue through DBA's extensive range of popular disc rotors. DBA 'Kangaroo Paw' rotors have been clearly labeled for easy identification. A substantial national marketing and promotional campaign at both the trade and consumer level has already begun.

Kangaroo Paw technology is another example of Disc Brakes Australia's commitment to improve driving safety.
