Brake components built to perform
Precision-engineered brake drums and rotors
tested to meet or exceed OEM standards
Better Brake Components, Inside and Out
ConMet’s manufacturing processes ensure uniform, precision-machined brake components for longer life and improved performance.
Broad coverage
Drums and rotors for a wide range of medium- and heavy-duty trucks and trailers, with options for both iron and aluminum hub applications. ConMet brake components are available in multiple types and configurations to meet OEM specs and application needs.
Reliable quality
Our brake drums and rotors are precision-machined for top performance. Each design undergoes extensive research and development and is validated through rigorous testing at our state-of-the-art ConMet Technical Center.
Expert engineering
ConMet brake components are engineered using Computer-Aided-Design (CAD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and solidification modeling to optimize strength and performance. Our expert team leverages prototyping and rigorous testing – including mechanical and thermal fatigue testing – to ensure lasting reliability.
Brake drum and rotor technology
Learn what makes ConMet’s brake drums and rotors different
TruTurn brake drums are machined inside and out over 95% of their surface area. This results in more uniform heat distribution, reduced vibration, and better performance.
TruTurn brake drums outperform the competition both in lab tests and on the highway. Because of our unique machining process, they maintain their shape better than traditional cast brake drums.
TruTurn brake drums are constructed using ConMet’s “turned-to-balance” machining process, which improves drum strength by eliminating the need for weld-on weights or balance cuts.
ConMet rotors are precision-machined to deliver top performance and prevent issues like brake vibration and ABS signal interference. Each rotor is fully validated with the latest OEM N-level frictions and undergoes extensive testing, including FMVSS 121 performance testing, crack testing, corrosion testing, and more.
For more than 25 years, ConMet has applied deep engineering knowledge to the design and development of brake rotors for commercial vehicles. Our team combines proven experience with modern tools and testing to create components that meet the evolving demands of OEMs. With decades of first-fit success and continuous investment in design validation, we’ve built a legacy of trusted performance.
ConMet rotors are qualified and used with all major OEM brake manufacturers’ calipers and frictions. We offer a variety of rotor types depending on OEM fit and application, including:
U-shaped: Designed for high torque capacity, the U-shaped rotor is the industry standard for heavy- and severe-duty applications.
Hat: Compact and efficient, hat-shaped rotors are ideal for medium-duty vehicles.
Flat: ConMet’s exclusive flat rotor offers an affordable, lightweight solution for heavy-duty applications.
Rotor service kits for ConMet’s broad portfolio of OEM-approved hub and rotor assemblies are readily available in the aftermarket.
ConMet hub and rotor assemblies are available for steer, drive and trailer applications, heavy-duty and medium-duty applications, and in iron or aluminum
Many ConMet rotors are designed to be used specifically with ConMet aluminum hubs, resulting in the lightest ADB wheel ends on the market.
