Pillar Venting Technology

The innovative Brembo patented pillar venting technology increases overall rotor cooling and provides 40% more resistance to thermal cracking.

It is a popular misconception that the slots or drillings in a disc determine the direction of rotation.  In truth, for an internally vented disc, the geometry of the vanes dictates the direction of rotation.  There are three vane types in use:  Straight, Pillar Vane, and Curved Vane.

The first two vane types are non-directional, and can be used on either side of the vehicle.  The curved vane disc, however, is directional. A curved vane disc must be installed with the vanes running back from the inside to outside diameters in the direction of rotation.  Orienting the disc in the manner creates a centrifugal pump. The rotation of the disc causes air to be pumped from the center of the disc, through the vanes, and out through the outside diameter of the of the disc.  This greatly enhances the disc's ability to dissipate heat.

Additionally, all of Brembo's slotted discs are directional as well, regardless of the vane geometry. The discs should be installed such that the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the disc contact the pad first.
