Zimmermann’s brake pad range is produced with quality engineering, ensuring optimal braking comfort, minimal wear, and dependable stopping power. Every set undergoes a development process lasting up to 3 years and thousands of test miles, guaranteeing outstanding performance and reliability across diverse driving conditions.

What They Do
The Zimmermann brake pads are designed to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy during braking, delivering controlled deceleration with minimal noise and consistent pedal feedback.

Key features and benefits:

• Tailored friction compounds: Formulated using up to 25 different raw materials for optimal grip, balance, and fade resistance.
• Vehicle-specific design: Each pad set is tuned to match the braking characteristics of its intended vehicle type.
• High comfort & low noise: Chamfered edges, anti-vibration layers, and precision backing plates ensure quiet operation.
• Long service life: Durable friction surfaces and quality binding ensure minimal wear, even under demanding conditions.
• Corrosion-resistant components: Protective coatings safeguard against rust, ensuring long-term performance.
• ECE R90 conformity: Certified to meet European safety and braking standards.

Zimmermann’s standard pads are trusted by professionals and enthusiasts alike for smooth, predictable braking and a refined driving experience.

Why Brake Pads Fail

• Even the best pads will wear over time. Common causes of brake pad failure include:
• Friction material wear: Continuous heat and pressure gradually thin the pad surface, reducing braking power.
• Glazing or overheating: Prolonged heavy braking can harden the pad surface, decreasing friction efficiency.
• Uneven contact or alignment issues: Warped rotors or improper installation can cause uneven wear and vibration.
• Contamination: Dust, oil, or road debris can penetrate the braking surface, reducing grip and causing squeal.
• Neglected maintenance: Worn pads increase rotor wear, leading to higher repair costs and potential safety risks.

Regular inspection and timely replacement ensure consistent braking performance and protect your vehicle’s entire braking system.

Why They Should Be Replaced

• Replacing worn or underperforming brake pads with the Zimmermann set ensures your vehicle maintains:
• Reliable braking performance: Fresh pads restore maximum friction, improving stopping distance and response time.
• Driving comfort & quiet operation: Maintains Zimmermann’s hallmark of smooth, low-noise braking.
• Protection for brake discs: Prevents premature rotor wear and costly component damage.
• Consistent safety: Guarantees even pressure distribution and stable pedal feel in all conditions.
• Efficiency & lifespan: New pads maintain proper heat dissipation and energy transfer, extending both pad and disc life.

Zimmermann’s precision-engineered standard brake pads ensure reliability, safety, and long-lasting value for everyday and performance-oriented drivers alike.

Your Advantages at a Glance

• Over 1,000 different Zimmermann pad variants available
• Stored capacity exceeding 120,000 sets for fast availability

Quality
Our product range in the brake pads sector includes over 1,000 different items, covering the vast majority of vehicles currently on the road. To ensure wholesalers have rapid access to our products, we maintain a warehouse with the capacity to store more than 120,000 sets of brake pads.

Every vehicle has its own unique characteristics and therefore specific requirements for brake pads. Our products are made using up to 25 different raw materials, carefully combined to achieve the highest standards of quality, reliability, and safety. Each brake pad undergoes a rigorous 2–3 year development process, including extensive road testing. The “OE Approvals” from leading automobile manufacturers are a testament to the expertise and precision of our specialists.

Your Advantages:

• Over 1,000 product variants
• Large storage capacity (120,000 sets) for rapid availability
• OE quality standards
• OES quality 
• Long service life
• Smooth and consistent braking performance
• Complies with ECE R90 regulations
• Excellent corrosion protection
• Complete range from a single supplier

What they do

• These pad units convert the motion of your vehicle into stopping power by pressing the friction material against the disc, transforming kinetic energy into heat in a controlled manner—ensuring reliable deceleration, consistent response and minimal fade.
• The pb:z line uses friction-material mixtures drawn from up to 25 different raw materials, tailored specifically for each vehicle’s braking system and usage profile.
• Manufactured with careful control of temperature, pressure and time, the production process ensures that each pad set meets the design criteria for braking comfort, precision and functional safety.
• Your advantage: the pb:z range in ‘OES-quality’ (Original Equipment-Standard quality) delivers highest level of brake comfort, precision for highest functional safety, and is available for some special applications.
• Further benefits: long lifespan, very smooth performance, and conformity to ECE R90 standards for braking performance.

Why brake pads fail

• Friction-material wear: Over time, the pad material thins, reducing the effective contact area and friction coefficient. When the pad becomes too thin, stopping distance increases and performance deteriorates.
• Thermal overload or glazing: Under repeated heavy braking or mismatched pad/disc pairing, the surface can harden or glaze, losing its ideal friction characteristics—leading to fade or uneven braking.
• Uneven pad-to-disc contact: If pads don’t make full uniform contact due to disc warpage, caliper misalignment, or incorrect installation, only portions of the pad carry load, which accelerates wear or creates hotspots.
• Corrosion or contaminants: Although the pb:z line offers optimal corrosion protection, external factors (salt, water ingress, lack of maintenance) can degrade surfaces, impairing pad stability and life.
• Loss of comfort/damping features: If design features like damping plates or proper backing-plates are compromised, then vibration, noise or uneven wear may emerge—reducing the pad’s effective lifespan or creating failure symptoms.

Why they should be replaced

• Maintain stopping power and safety: To retain predictable braking distances, consistent pedal feel and full system responsiveness, the pad set must operate within specification. Once friction material wears beyond safe limits, system performance suffers.
• Protect the rest of the braking system: Worn or failing pads can lead to disc damage, caliper piston overheating, or uneven rotor wear—resulting in higher repair costs down the line.
• Preserve refinement and driving comfort: The pb:z pad set offers smooth, quiet operation with minimal noise or vibration. Replacing at the correct time preserves that comfort and refined braking feel.
• Conform to regulatory and planned performance standards: Since these pads are designed to comply with ECE R90 and built to high-precision standards, replacing them at appropriate intervals ensures you retain this benchmark level of braking behaviour and safety.
• Match the development pedigree: These pads result from advanced development cycles (2-3 years plus extensive testing) and represent a replacement-grade compared to generic alternatives. Choosing timely replacement helps you maintain performance aligned with original design intent.
