Power Slot is Centric’s performance division focusing on entry level brake upgrade solutions. Power Slot pioneered direct fit performance rotors for trucks, SUVs and severe duty vehicles, delivering superior and reliable braking even under hard driving conditions.
Excessive heat can cause resins in your brake pad to vaporize or “outgas.” As the brake pad wears, the used friction material turns into a fine dust. This boundary layer of heat, gas and dust builds up between the pad and rotor surfaces and inhibits performance.
Here’s where Power Slot’s slotted brake rotors make a big difference. Power Slot’s Vac-U-SlotsTM are machined into the rotor and help evacuate gasses and dust, shed heat, and keep the brake pad surface clean. And in wet, raining conditions, our Vac-U-SlotTM helps push water off the braking surface for better stopping power. The Vac-U-SlotTM also serves as a visual wear indicator. The slot is machined to the rotors minimum thickness where it crosses the outside edge. If you cannot see the slot along the outside edge, the rotor has worn down to the discard depth.
Most Power Slot performance rotors feature our special Power Alloy metallic compound.
• Superior resistance to cracking due to thermal stress
• Increased molybdenum content that extends
reliability, service life and helps reduce NVH “noise”
issues
• Rotor material is a direct descendant of the patented
AeroRotor from StopTech
Power Slot Cryo
When you need something tougher than a Power Slot rotor, but you’re not quite ready for a big brake kit, try our new Power Slot Cryo rotors. We’ve invested in the latest state-of-the-art equipment in our City of Industry distribution center to offer cryogenic treatment on our Power Slot and Cryo-Stop rotor line.
Deep cryogenic treatment is a one-time process that permanently improves the performance and service life of metals from brake rotors and engine parts, to machine tools and gear sets. Using a proprietary computer-controlled process, the metal is cooled gradually to -300°F and then slowly returned to room temperature and heat-cycled as the final step. Although not apparent to the naked eye, the improvements to the rotor are significant. The cryogenic treatment process redistributes residual stress in the rotor giving it an extra level of protection against thermal distortion and wear.
Any new Power Slot slotted brake rotor can be cryogenically treated prior to shipment. Allow 5-10 business days for processing. For more information, contact your local Power Slot dealer or distributor.
