Cylinder Pad Wood 1.15mm represents a critical component in the pursuit of optimal braking performance and vehicle safety. Engineered for precision, this specific gasket, also known as a brake cylinder shim, is crafted from a specialized compressed wood fiber composite. The 1.15mm thickness is not arbitrary; it is a meticulously calculated dimension designed to provide the exact necessary spacing and isolation between the brake piston and the brake pad’s backing plate.

The primary function of this component is to eliminate brake noise, such as squeals and vibrations, that commonly occur during braking. The wood composite material possesses excellent damping properties, absorbing high-frequency vibrations that would otherwise be transferred into the brake caliper and chassis, resulting in audible noise. Furthermore, the Cylinder Pad Wood 1.15mm acts as a thermal insulator, helping to reduce heat transfer from the brake pad to the hydraulic piston and brake fluid. This contributes to more consistent brake performance and protects sensitive brake system components from excessive heat.

Installation of this shim is a straightforward yet vital step during brake pad replacement. It is placed directly onto the brake piston before the new brake pad is seated. Its precise 1.15mm construction ensures a perfect fit, preventing any misalignment or uneven contact that could lead to premature pad wear or reduced braking efficiency. For enthusiasts and technicians seeking a quiet, reliable, and professional-grade brake service, incorporating this specific shim is a detail that signifies a commitment to quality. It is an essential, often overlooked, part that ensures your vehicle’s braking system operates smoothly, quietly, and effectively.
