Brake caliper adapter custom configurator

A high-strength steel alloy is always used, made of special ST52 steel. This material is the most suitable for braking systems, and the TÜV (German Technical Inspection) usually registers this without any problems. Further information on the material certificate and corresponding information on TÜV registration is available under the following link

If you provide us with your components and the part number, our team can check if this conversion may also be of interest to future customers. If this is the case, you will be informed by email. The total amount of the order is due in advance. As soon as you have installed and registered the brake caliper adapter, all you have to do is take nice pictures of the installed brake caliper adapter and the brake system and provide us with a copy of the vehicle registration document with the registration and you will receive 50% of the purchase price back from us.

If you already know which brake calipers you want to install, all you have to do is get the right brake discs. It is worth investing a little time in this. With the right choice of the brake disc, you can save money in the future. You can also use brake discs from other manufacturers. Please note the following: The bolt circle (Pitch Circle Diameter) on the brake disc should match the original bolt circle on the vehicle. If this is not the case, we would be happy to re-drill your brake disc. The centering should match the original. It is very important that the brake disc has the right thickness for the brake caliper. It is up to you where you get the brake discs. In any case, we also have some on offer, from EBC or Zimmermann. Click here for a detailed application example.

The first step is just to test if the components fit your vehicle. You don't need to hang out the brake line, but you can hang the original caliper on its side, e.g. with cable ties. It is important that the brake line is not kinked or subjected to excessive loads. Then you take the brake caliper and the brake disc and assemble them as a test. It is important that the brake caliper can be pushed fully onto the disc without hitting the steering knuckle. If that is the case, you can now take the dimensions. You can find out what measurements we need in our configurator. When taking measurements, you should make sure that the brake caliper sits straight on the disc and that the brake pad passes approximately 1mm under the disc. You can find out which dimensions we need in our configurator. You don't have to worry about taking absolutely 100% correct measurements, as you will get a free plastic model to test in advance. This allows you to make changes again if necessary. After you have received the 3-D model, you should assemble it once for a test. It is advisable to measure the brake line directly. If everything fits, you let us know and we will manufacture the adapters and deliver them to you.

If your adapter shape is not listed, we can of course also carry out the conversion, but not via the configurator, as these adapters are a little more special. More information here (click here)

If you make a mistake while taking the measurements, this is not a problem, because in the first step you get the adapter with your specified dimensions made of plastic. Thus, in the worst case, the plastic model is wrong and you have the opportunity to correct the dimensions again without incurring additional costs.

For this, we need the following components from you: steering knuckle, brake caliper, brake pads, brake disc. Then fill out the following form, attach it to the package and send it to the following address: Epytec GmbH / Neuhäuser 10/79244 Münstertal

Material certificate for the technical control inspection

Here you can print an example of a material certificate in order clarify the situation with your inspector in advance. All our products (unless otherwise indicated) are subject to registration! Approval can be carried out by an expert in accordance with the law. For better classification and easier work to achieve the registration, we provide a material certificate, which has an EPYTEC logo. We recommend the expert that he includes the name of the manufacturer in the vehicle documents.

Here to an example of a material certificate

Tension /resistance analysis

In rare cases, a material certificate may not be sufficient for the expert. In this case, talk to the inspector to see if he can register the adapter with a resistance analysis. To do this, the link to the model can be simply sent to the controller. If he agrees, we can provide you with this summary form for a price of only ?50, while in the detailed form it costs more than ?500 (a detailed document that we cannot do internally) -> but this only applies to series adapters, not to custom-made products.

Here for the tension/resistance analysis example

Distance from the center of the hole in the axle support to the brake caliper mounting bracket. When the caliper is fully seated on the brake disc, add approximately 1.5mm so that the brake caliper has enough space for the brake disc.

Hole spacing from the steering knuckle from the center of the hole to the center of the hole.

Distance between axle support and brake caliper mounting bracket. Place the caliper in the middle of the disc then measure the distance.

Prototype construction: 3D samples of production

Step by step towards the prototype

We have purchased a 3D printer and therefore can offer the construction of prototypes for every private and professional customer at affordable prices. If you order a custom-made product from us, you will even receive the samples for free.

This type of procedure is perfect for checking the correctness of the fit and, if necessary, recognizing changes before production. In addition, it significantly speeds up the process, as such a sample is created and can be sent in the same day.

What is necessary?

All we need is an STL file, sketch, draft or sample to include in the CAD and create an STL file from it.

If you ordered through the configurator, we have all the data and you will receive the plastic sample to test in the next few days.

Price

If an STL file is delivered, we can print the parts from 19.95 ?

If a sketch with dimensions is provided and we create an STL file using our CAD software, it is from 59.95 ?

Functional description of the 3D printer

Using a heated nozzle, the PLA plastic is melted and applied in layers until a finished model is created. We then provide this with a thread (if necessary). This means that even heavy components can be adapted on a test basis. We are always fascinated by the stability of the 3D patterns and the tightness of the screws.

Technical specifications

Maximum component size: 230 x 225 x 205 mm. Printing precision: up to 20 microns = 0.1 mm. Printing time: Example of brake caliper adapter as shown on the right works at an average resolution of approximately 11.30 hours \ "Funktionbeispiele-prototypenbau-epyteckIIyafLnoETLp \"

No, unfortunately that is not possible. The reason is simply: all brake calipers have different heights and depths. If another brake disc is installed, the brake caliper would either not fit on the adapter or not run in the middle of the brake disc. But if you want to install a different brake caliper, we also have an option for you. You can have a custom-made product made for you, take a look at the following link for more information: https://epytec.de/uk/custom-made-products/brake-technology/adapters-for-brake-systems
