RAPCO brake discs are forged from carbon steel billet which provides a tightly aligned grain structure for superior strength. In addition, the discs are heat treated in a hardening process for a long service life. This is not only important for the discs, but it also helps to maximise brake lining life as well. The hardened forgings are precision machined and then plated with electroless nickel for corrosion resistance. In a final machining process, the wear surfaces of the disc receive an additional turning to assure they are true. This reduces vibration and allows the disc to rapidly transfer heat away from the lining material, resulting in improved stopping and longer service life. Then each disc is laser etched for proper permanent identification. RAPCO brake discs offer premium features at a competitive price.

SAFETY WARNING

AIRCRAFT BRAKE INSTALLATION AND USE
When installing brake linings be sure to check the aircraft's maintenance manual for the proper torque value of back plate bolts. Over torquing can damage brake cylinders. After installing new brake linings or new brake discs the installer must confirm that the wheel assemblies rotate freely while properly jacked above the ground. If they do not turn freely the aircraft must not be returned to service until the problem has been resolved. Failure to do so can cause loss of aircraft control, reduced take off performance or fire.
