Brake Disc Inspection and Balancing Machines

Machines that measure, test and balance brake discs on the production line. Choose a single-purpose machine or a fully automatic inspection line.

Compare Brake Disc Machines

Brake disc problems such as runout, uneven thickness and unbalance can cause braking vibration and noise. Our machines check these on the production line, so you find problems before the discs leave your plant. Use this table to compare the six machines.

DTV means disc thickness variation. Specifications are for reference. Send us your disc drawing and we will confirm the details.

Which Machine Do You Need?

Start with the check that matters most for your discs.

Geometry

Check runout and thickness

Use the M50-3 for face runout, DTV and boss face runout. Choose the M50-11 when you want up to 30 parameters in one cycle.

See the M50-3
Flaws and frequency

Find cracks, test natural frequency

The M50-X does surface eddy current flaw detection and natural frequency testing in one station. The inspection does not mark the disc.

See the M50-X
Balance

Measure and correct unbalance

The brake disc balancing machine measures unbalance, mills material from the heavy spot and finishes in one automatic cycle.

See the balancing machine
Complete line

Combine several checks in one line

The M150 cell and the M160 line bring gauging, flaw detection, balancing and marking together, so the disc does not move between separate machines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a brake disc inspection machine?

It is a machine that checks brake discs on the production line. Depending on the model, it measures dimensions and runout, finds surface cracks with eddy current, tests natural frequency, and measures and corrects unbalance. Bad discs are found before they are shipped.

What does DTV mean?

DTV means disc thickness variation. It is the difference in thickness around the disc. It is a leading cause of brake judder and vibration, so we measure it on the M50-3 and the M50-11.

Do you make a brake disc balancing machine?

Yes. The XYLD-30-4P-10 is a fully automatic brake disc balancing machine. It measures unbalance and corrects it by vertical or disc milling in one cycle, for workpieces up to 30 kg and 300 mm in diameter. The M150 and the M160 also include closed-loop dynamic balancing.

What disc sizes can your machines handle?

The M50 series covers discs from 255 mm to 360 mm in diameter. The M150 and the M160 cover 255 mm to 450 mm. The balancing machine handles discs up to 300 mm. If your disc is outside these ranges, send us the drawing and we will check.

Can one machine find flaws and test natural frequency?

Yes. The M50-X does surface eddy current flaw detection and natural frequency testing in one station. The natural frequency sensor can be a microphone or an accelerometer.

How are the discs loaded?

The M50-3 and the M50-11 support manual, robot or truss manipulator loading. The M150 and the M160 use automatic roller conveyors at the front and the rear.

Do you also make machines for brake drums?

Yes. See our brake drum page for balancing and inspection machines for brake drums.

Not sure which brake disc machine fits?

Send us your disc drawing and the checks you need. We will recommend the right machine.
