equation, the quality of the materials used in making the rotor as well as the manufacturing process.
A rotor that does not have the correct metallurgy (the science of producing and purifying metal) would be more prone to cracking. A poor manufacturing process is also a major contributor to rotor cracks. Typically, cheap rotors that have had less development and manufacturing applied would be more likely to crack.
For the driver, symptoms to look out for include low frequen- cy vibration during braking and more intense braking shudder, depending on the size of the crack(s). The solution for cracked rotors? There’s only one: replacement.
Bendix rotor range & key technologies
As a specialist producer of braking systems and market leader in ranges of passenger cars abroad as well as local market with its ‘Bendix SwiftFit Disc Brake Rotor’
These quality products, the company says, are designed and developed to exacting standards, using high quality feed mate- rials and the latest manufacturing processes, reducing the likeli- hood of rotor warping or cracking.
- facturing processes. Innovative technologies like SwiftFit Coating for faster, easier installation; Stealth Advanced Metallurgry for cleaner, quieter braking and Matrix Machining for smoother, more consistent stopping performance. Bendix rotors are the perfect complement to the extensive Bendix brake pad range, “says Bendix.
These leading technologies, the company claims, combined with Bendix’s ‘unparalleled experience and absolute quality as-
surance’ ensure the new generation of Bendix brake disc rotors is ready for the demands of today’s vehicles and beyond.
SwiftFit Coating
Bendix Rotors, the company explains, feature SwiftFit surface the need to clean anti-rust oil or coating from the surface. Swift- Fit surface protection prevents corrosion of the rotor resulting in an unlimited shelf life, longer fault free service and a rust-free ro- tor hat that is often visible behind open alloy wheels. Frequently with uncoated conventional rotors, corrosion could impact the rotor mating with the wheel hub face over time and create a vi- bration that would feel like a wheel imbalance.
With the latest anti-rust technology, Bendix stresses, SwiftFit

Stealth Advanced Metallurgy
Bendix Rotors incorporate improved noise dampening charac- teristics and heat dissipation by utilising Stealth Metallurgy that
Matrix Machining
Bendix Rotors feature advanced technology machining that ensures parallelism and eliminates lateral run out to absolute the working surface ensures quiet, smooth trouble-free braking Rotors without the extra work required with rotors using inferior
