The highest quality requirement for the automotive engine, transmission, brake &

steering components has always been a challenge for Sapura Machining Corporation Sdn

Bhd (SMC). Being one of the pioneers in the high precision machining in Malaysia, SMC has

been very successful in meeting the stringent quality requirement by automotive

assemblers. Precision machining is its core business with products ranging from engine,

transmission, brake system and steering components. Currently SMC has successfully

commenced the mass production and delivery for CAMPRO engine parts for PROTON, D73A

parts for PERODUA, D18D parts for Perodua, Ford I4 parts for Ford Philippines, D46T parts

for Perodua, P2-110 for Proton and P6-20A for Proton. With a complete range of high

degree automated equipment and dedicated workforce, SMC is determined to become one

of the major players in the region.

Below shows the achievements that have been attained by SAPURA.

And the products that had been produced by SAPURA;

Topic of production

The disc brake is a device for slowing or stopping the rotation of a wheel. A

brake disc (or rotor in US English), usually made of cast iron or ceramic, is connected to

the wheel or the axle. To stop the wheel, friction material in the form of brake pads

(mounted in a device called a brake caliper) is forced mechanically, hydraulically or

pneumatically against both sides of the disc. Friction causes the disc and attached wheel

to slow or stop.

Many early implementations located the brakes on the inboard side of the

driveshaft, near the differential, but most brakes today are located inside the wheels.(An

inboard location reduces the unsprung weight and eliminates a source of heat transfer to

the tires, important in Formula One racing.)

Disc brakes were most popular on sports cars when they were first introduced,

since these vehicles are more demanding about brake performance. Discs have now

become the more common form in most passenger vehicles, although many use drum

brakes on the rear wheels to keep costs and weight down as well as to simplify the

provisions for a parking brake. As the front brakes perform most of the braking effort,

this can be a reasonable compromise.

The design of the disc varies somewhat. Some are simply solid cast iron, but

others are hollowed out with fins joining together the disc's two contact surfaces (usually

included as part of a casting process). This "ventilated" disc design helps to dissipate the

generated heat and is commonly used on the more-heavily-loaded front rotors.
