Juratek employs a team of professional engineers who have developed the products to today’s industry leading standards.
Using the latest Computer aided design software 3D models are produced based on measurements taken from our coordinate measuring machine (CMM). These models are then converted into 2D manufacturing drawings.
These models are also used in the routine inspection of the products once manufactured, to ensure conformity to the original design.
CV BRAKING
From March 1st 2024 all Juratek CV Discs and Drums will be superseded to the FRAS-LE equivalent.
You can still order using the old Juratek number as all are cross referred. The part number structure is shown in the examples below.
Discs - Prefix FHDI
FHDI00001 which is the same as MER109
FHDI00013 which is the same as SCA100
Drums - Prefix FHDR
FHDR00011 which is the same as BP201
FHDR00012 which is the same as BP202
On the invoices and delivery notes along with the Fras-le part number, the old Juratek number will be shown in the description for easy cross referencing.
Later on this year we will be introducing Brake Pads and Linings, so please follow us on social media to stay informed about these developments.

BRAKING REDEFINED
SYNERGY noun (pl) -gies
the combined power of components when working together to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
After more than two years of development and field tests, a new friction brand is now available. SYNERGY Braking Technology. This new friction has been developed to optimise the synergistic relationship between friction components and a vehicles performance and service life.
Brake friction components are critical to safety. With heavy demands on performance, these components need to be robust and to work efficiently and effectively in all environments.
SYNERGY braking has been proven on truck, trailer, bus and coach applications to provide premium braking performance and durability under all service operating conditions.
All SYNERGY braking is tested and approved to UN ECE R90:02 by the VCA, the UK’s designated type approval authority with more than 30 years experience in testing and providing certification for vehicle systems and components.
While safety is of paramount importance, extended wear rates and economy are also important. SYNERGY braking has been developed to provide the optimum balance of performance and durability of both pad and disc.
ECE R90 Approved VCA UK
BED-IN COATING
Synergy brake pads have a bedding-in coat on the friction surface. This helps improve “out of the box” performance and reduce the usual time required to bed-in new pads.
Additionally, this coating helps remove any surface debris which may be left over from previous friction materials.
ADHESIVE LAYER
High temperature adhesive is used to bond the friction material to the backplate.
BACKPLATE
Synergy brakes are marked with the UN ECE R90 (UK) approval number, production batch code for traceability and part number reference.
MECHANICAL RETENTION SYSTEM
Synergy brakes use a wire mesh spot welded to the backplate which works in conjunction with the adhesive layer to provide a secure mechanical key between the friction material and backplate even under the most arduous of operating conditions.
FRICTION MATERIAL
Synergy is tested and approved to UN ECE R90:02 by the VCA and is manufactured in state of the art production facilities accredited to ISO9001 and TS16949.
FRICTION MATERIAL GRADES
All Brake Pads are manufactured to our own specifications based on the original parts and will operate in service similar to their OEM counterparts. There are three different grades of friction material available. Each designed for specific purposes and temperature ranges.
