Matching OEM Specs: Is It Important?

DFC Blog

All DFC rotors and drums are based on OEM fit, form, and function. Our benchmark for design is OEM. This means that we have to capture all the dimensions of the design, including cooling veins to ensure proper performance for all usage conditions. Some of you are probably wondering…what does OEM mean? OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. This ultimately means that the parts we build are based on an organization’s specific OEM.

DFC capture all the specific dimensions using a FaroArm CMM

We catch all the specific dimensions of a design through the use of a FaroArm CMM (coordinate measuring machine), which allows us to capture every last detail of the design with great precision. Our capabilities include (but are not limited to):

• probe data measuring for most machine surfaces
• laser scanning for complex surfaces
• OES methods to analyze metallurgy and match high-carbon content iron
• designing CAD Models

Of course, these tools and methods are performed in conjunction with one another. This ensures that we get the most accurate data available.

Many part manufacturers only focus on production and revenue. Here at DFC, however, we prioritize your safety and the performance of every single product we release. We want you to feel safe on the road and also want for our products to contribute to that safety. To achieve that, all braking system parts require a lot of research, calculation, and measurement to work properly and perform at their best.

OES Methods & CAD Models

OES methods are key to ensuring that modern performance applications have the correct material and characteristics required for higher demand, automated braking systems. CAD models, on the other hand, are created in order to optimize performance and ensure that all DFC parts perform at their absolute best. 

Using analysis methods, we determine how our parts will act and react during certain conditions. These tools also allow us to make data-driven decisions when consolidating OEM part numbers. These all ultimately result in us being able to offer you and our partners the best-performing parts in the market.
