Titanium Sim

Titanium brake pad shim with excellent heat resistance
・  Titanium is light, strong, rust-resistant, and   can withstand harsh usage conditions and environments; titanium is truly a rare metal. It is an attractive, state-of-the-art practical metal with a variety of benefits. Titanium, which has been revered like diamond in the racing world for more than 30 years as an expensive, light, and heat-resistant metal, is a strong, light, and highly corrosion-resistant metal, with a specific gravity that is about half that of iron and comparable to that of steel. It has strength. It exhibits excellent corrosion resistance due to its stable oxide film, and exhibits complete corrosion resistance, especially against seawater. It does not deteriorate due to material history such as welding, processing, and heat treatment, and its non-toxicity and biocompatibility are unmatched by other metals. Brake pad shims made of titanium plates that take advantage of these characteristics are becoming commonplace in the European motorsports world. Do you understand the wonders of titanium material? Well, the English pronunciation of titanium is Titan, and that's right, Formula Titan, the predecessor of Formula 800C, is the English pronunciation of titanium. In Akure, which has a very deep relationship with titanium, we conducted repeated tests from January to October 2019 to put titanium shims into practical use. The big difference from simple shims is that regular shims are intended to stop squealing, but titanium shims not only have a squealing effect, but the titanium plate also shuts out the heat from the disc rotor, preventing heat conduction to the brake caliper. In addition, as mentioned earlier, the lightness is a weapon and there is no burden on the unsprung load, and the hardness creates a rigid feeling that makes the pedal touch click and further suppresses changes.

 History of our company

Titanium is an attractive, state-of-the art practical metal with various merits such as light weight, strength, resistance to rust and harsh usage conditions and environment.
In the racing world, Titanium which has been revered like diamond as an expensive, light and heat resistant metal for more than 30 years.
Titanium is a strong, light weight and corrosion-resistant metal with a specific gravity of about half of iron and comparable to steel which has strength.
Also Titanium exhibits excellent corrosion resistance due to its stable oxide film especially to sea-water completely.
There is no deterioration due to the material history of welding, processing, heat treatment and etc and also the non-toxicity and biocompatibility are unmatched by other metals.
Brake pad shims made of titanium plates that take advantage of these characteristics are becoming common in the world of motor sports in Europe.
We hope you could understand how wonderful the titanium material is.
Now the English reading of titanium is Titan which is the predecessor Formula Titan of Formula 800C is an English reading of titanium.
ACRE Co., Ltd has a very close relationship with titanium characteristic and we repeatedly conducted tests from January to October 2019 toward the practical application of titanium shims.
The big difference from the simple shim is that the normal shim is intended to stop the noise but the titanium shim not only has the noise effect but also the titanium plate shuts out the heat of the disc rotor and prevents heat conduction to the brake caliper.
In addition, as described earlier, light weight becomes a weapon and there is no burden on the load of under spring.
Hardness creates a feeling of rigidity on the pedal touch of accelerator and further suppresses changes.
