Vibration test: The optimum condition of the PCCB material is tested using the pulse hammer.
A ceramic brake disc that has been heated to 900 ðC passes the thermal shock test in cold water.
The Porsche roller brake tester allows deceleration tests from speeds of up to 200 km/h.
The Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake is nearly wear free.
The ceramic brake passes the noise test in the climatic chamber: Even under the influence of cold liquid nitrogen, the brake must not squeal.
In order to ensure high quality in series production, computers calculate the heat balance, stresses and deformations of the carbon fibre-ceramic material under different operating conditions.
The ceramic brake discs are installed as standard equipment in the GT2 in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen.
In the precision measuring room, the brake disc dimensions are checked to the exact millimetre.
