Bendix also noted that the smoothness of the rotor surface matters as well when it comes to noise prevention. When reusing brake ro- tors, it is very important to machine them, using a good condition with Bendix SwiftFit Brake Rotor.
Brake Shims and Insulators
Brake shims are key in controlling noise. First, they reduce trans- mission of vibrations from the pads and rotors to other brake com- ponents. Most shims supplied with Bendix brake pads are covered ‘incredibly well’ compared to non-coated shims. In Bendix’s per- formance brake pads, the supplied shims are coated with nitrile, which adds more heat resistance. Secondly, shims add mass to a brake pad, causing vibrations to lose energy and reduce noise-causing frequency levels. Last but not least, shims act as a thermal barrier to help spread heat evenly across the face of the brake pad, ensuring consistent brake torque. Bendix says its brake shims are made from carbon steel, which has low thermal conductivity and are designed to last the lifetime of the brake pads.
Lubricants
Lubricant is extremely important in a braking component system. another barrier that further dampens vibration under braking. How- ever, Bendix says only lubricants such as its Ceramasil Brake Parts Lubricant should be used. This is because Bendix’s lubricant uses a formula that does not break down under extreme heat and pres- sure generated by brakes. It also does not contain petroleum, which causes boots and seals to react and fail prematurely.
