We hold ±0.005mm standard tolerances on brake caliper bores, with precision options down to ±0.003mm for racing applications. Each caliper body is inspected on CMM to verify bore concentricity, surface finish, and piston seal groove dimensions. This ensures consistent braking performance and eliminates fluid leaks under high-pressure conditions.

We coordinate heat treatment processes for brake rotor carriers and high-carbon steel rotors to improve wear resistance and dimensional stability. Our network of certified heat treatment partners provides processes such as stress relieving and through-hardening per your material specifications. All heat-treated components receive full certification and dimensional re-verification before shipment.

Aluminum 6061-T6 is our recommended grade for master cylinders due to its excellent machinability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with Type III hard anodizing. It provides sufficient strength for hydraulic pressure containment while maintaining light weight. For racing applications requiring maximum strength, 7075-T6 is also available with appropriate surface protection.

Yes, we machine titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) brake pedal pivots and hardware for racing and high-performance applications. Titanium offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, though it requires specialized tooling and high-pressure coolant during machining. All titanium pivot bores are finished to ±0.005mm with optional diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating for reduced friction.

We offer comprehensive surface finishing including Type III hard anodizing, Type II decorative anodizing, Cerakote ceramic coating, passivation, bead blasting, and powder coating. Finishes are selected based on the component's operating environment, wear requirements, and aesthetic preferences. Full coating thickness and hardness certifications are provided with every order.

Standard brake prototype lead time is 5–7 business days from drawing approval, with rush service available in 7–15 days for urgent projects. Lead times depend on component complexity, material availability, and finishing requirements. We maintain raw material stock for common aluminum and stainless steel alloys to accelerate prototype delivery.
