Disc Brake Components and Systems

As an OE partner, Wilwood offers short lead-times on custom OE parts production and delivery, including initial design, engineering, rapid prototyping solutions. We pass along significant cost savings provided by deep experience in brake solutions design and high-volume production. Wilwood can provide engineering analysis of your supplied project requirements, or we can develop requirements and specifications for you through our highly accessible engineering staff. Where custom braking solutions include existing components, we maintain well-stocked off-the-shelf inventory to draw from.

Our brake systems design solutions are based on a thorough understanding of rotational energy, friction, and management of resulting heat with both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Wilwood brake engineering processes include:

Engineering Design:

  • 3D Customer data retrieval and transfer
  • Computational analysis of vehicle statics and dynamics, including virtual suspension and wheel modeling
  • Digital coordinates measuring and 3D mapping for fitment assurance.

Design Analysis:

  • 3D solid modeling design
  • Finite element analysis on design performance
  • Tailor-engineered solutions include comprehensive analysis data

Prototyping:

  • Fully equipped in-house prototype and tool shop
  • Functional prototypes within days of design approval

Testing and Evaluation:

  • In-house cycle and dynamic testing facilities
  • Independent third party testing and certification

Manufacturing:

  • Integrated CAD-CAM-CNC systems
  • On-site California-based manufacturing and production facilities
  • Automated assembly processes

Quality Control & Maintenance:

  • ISO 9000 compliant
  • Computerized statistical and quantitative process controls
  • Two environmentally controlled quality control inspection areas
  • Standards compliance, including SAE, FMVSS, European Standards
