GST @ Euro Brake in Mainz

Dr. Florian Schüssler and DI Ronald Muhm held insightful discussions at Euro Brake in Mainz about GST’s patented machining concept for the cost-efficient grinding of brake discs.

The benefits of the concept are reduced machining times combined with a longer service life of the grinding wheels.

With the increasing importance of coated brake discs for reducing particulate emissions, the need for precise and cost-efficient machining processes is also growing significantly. In both passenger car and commercial vehicle applications, requirements regarding wear resistance, surface quality, and process stability are continuously increasing.

Against the backdrop of future emission regulations and higher lifetime requirements, innovative grinding concepts for coated brake discs will play a key role in the series production of modern braking systems.

With its patented concept of peripheral grinding using opposing double-sided line contact of the brake discs, GST has transformed the existing technology.

Conventional concepts focus on double face grinding of brake discs.
GST’s concept offers a cost-efficient alternative with lower tooling costs while simultaneously achieving improved quality.

Advantages of the patented GST solution

• Higher cutting speeds possible → up to 150 m/s
• Improved cooling of the grinding zone → line contact and high-pressure needle nozzles
• Grinding wheel size not limited → up to Ø 700 mm
