Brake Wheels Overview
Xtek "Steel Safe" brake wheels are superior to all others because they are
designed mechanically and metallurgically to provide long, safe operation. Each
Xtek brake wheel is machined from forged steel and heat treated in our in-house
furnaces to provide optimum wear and resistance to thermal cracking.
Xtek Brake Wheels are:
- Manufactured from forged low carbon alloy steel, not cast steel or iron
- Dynamically machine balanced to minimize vibration
- Two-plane analysis
- Machined (no welded weights)
- Heat treated to withstand thermal fatigue
Advantages of Xtek forged brake wheels:
- High resistance to fracture (catastrophic failure)
- High resistance to wear
- High resistance to thermal cracking
- Delivery in 6-8 weeks, less when required
- Competitive price
