AP brake discs meet the international standards on safety.
Our completely automated production processes, combined with the most advanced equipment in the sector, ensure a final product quality equivalent to the original equipment, able to develop forceful and precise braking.
The range becomes complete with brake discs equipped with pre-assembled ABS bearings and rings.
At the end of the production process the quality of all components is certified through selective control.
The new eco-friendly painting system allows to offer its customers complete services.

The range consists of solid and vented brake discs equipped with ABS bearings and rings.
All discs are available in painted version, too.

High quality raw materials and processing precision make the AP brake shoes performance equivalent to the original equipment.
All brake shoes production steps are fully performed in the owned factories.
The brake blocks are purchased from the main O.E. supplier.

Key Features:

•     Manufactured from steel for strength and precise specification

•     Sand blasted, painted and vulcanised for optimum finish and performance

•     Metal fibre/graphite/rubber composite lining for high levels of anti-noise performance (where appropriate)

•     Homologation ECE-R90

AP offers a wide range of kits for a quick and effective replacement of the drum brakes.
Since the components are already pre-assembled and ready for installation, Easy Kit represents the best spares replacement solution (unlike the simple kit, which contains disassembled components).
Easy Kit grants the installer a proper and better replacement process of drum brakes, for a higher and more reliable quality, thanks to pre-assembled self-adjusting systems perfectly tested and adjusted at the factory.
The self-adjusting system (control rod) is a fundamental element, essential to the Easy Kit that ensures constant brake pedal stroke and distance between shoe and drum.
Combined with a "Termoclip", it prevents locking of the wheels in case of drum brake overheating that trips at different temperatures, depending on the brake and system type used.
Easy Kit has high quality standards resulting from a long expertise in the sector and from the strict controls made on each manufactured part.

The brake drums slow/stop the vehicle under the friction applied by the brake shoes, which are operated under the pressure of the wheel cylinders.

The complete range consists of:

- Brake drums
- Bimetal drums
- Brake drums with integrated bearings

All available as well in painted version.

The brake master cylinder  converts the physical pressure applied on the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure compressing and moving the liquid through the ducts to the wheel cylinders ( whose pistons expand to push the brake shoes against the drum ) or the brake calipers ( whose pistons push the pads against the disc ).
The brake pump can be single-stage or two-stage . It is made of cast iron or aluminium.

Thanks to the pressure of the fluid pumped from the brake master cylinder , the pistons of the brake cylinder widen pushing against the drum the jaws which in turn produce the friction to stop the vehicle . The hydraulic seal of the device is ensured by gaskets mounted on the body of the piston .
It is made of cast iron or anodized aluminium .

The clutch master cylinder converts the physical pressure applied to the clutch pedal into hydraulic pressure compressing and moving the liquid through the ducts until the clutch slave cylinder , which moves the clutch disc in contact with the flywheel to allow gear changes.
It is made of steel, cast iron, aluminium or plastic. All tanks are manufactured in PA 80,100 to provide high levels of resistance to chemical and atmospheric agents .

Due to the pressure of the fluid pumped by the clutch master cylinder , the clutch slave cylinder moves the clutch disc in contact with the flywheel to allow the gear change.
It is made of steel, cast iron , aluminium or plastic.
Quality materials and accurate machining fully carried out inside the owned factory make our products highly reliable and durable, guaranteeing performance equivalent to the original equipment.

The braking regulator modulates the pressure applied to the rear brakes as a function of the load that is applied on this axis and the pressure of the front circuit to eliminate the risk of locking of the wheel, allowing to obtain the maximum deceleration.
It is made of cast iron or aluminium.
In addition, the regulators (limiters and compensators) may also be at the cutting point and slope pre-established that do not depend on the load on the vehicle (CRCI).

The production process begins with an accurate design and careful selection of materials.
To improve resistance to corrosion and wear, the components (cage, nucleus, bell) are subjected to thermal treatments and painting of the outer parts; the process ends with laboratory tests and tests on the vehicle, to make sure our customers are supplied reliable and long lasting products.

The constant velocity joint allows the transmission of motion to the wheels in constant and uniform manner even during the phases of steering

High quality components, precise machining and full post-assembling tests make the AP water pumps a safe product, with no compromises on sealing and performance.
The bearing and flange are assembled in tandem by a production line equipped with 2 controlled axes presses; successively, an air sealing static test is performed by means of a special machine that checks each piece for possible leaks.
The parts non-compliant are identified and rejected by an automatic control system.

The development process and subsequent production of hoses starts from the original sample (OE).
The hoses structure is made of 3 layers: rubber inlay, over which the brake liquid flows, fabric braiding having the purpose to prevent hose expansion, and an outer layer of rubber.
The hose, having the highest strength and flexibility standards, is purchased from one of the main OE suppliers.
The assembling phase ends with a thorough, full check of our finished product on last generation testing benches.

The wear indicators advise with an electrical impulse or with a beep that the friction material of the brake pads is worn and needs to be changed.

Suitable to any mechanical control of the hand brake, clutch, accelerator, starter and tachometer.
The production of a quality cable starts from two fundamental components: wire and sheath.
The piece is tested by comparison with the matching OEM, upon each production start-up and through sampling.
A special bench is used for the tests consisting of tensile load on the lever and the load checking on the wheel.
The ratio must not be lower than the OEM values.

Full range:

- Throttle cable
- Brake cable
- Bonnet cable
- Clutch cable
- Tachometer cable
- Starter cable
