Brake disc carrier plate

The brake disc backing plate, also known as the brake anchor plate or brake disc splash guard, is an important component of the wheel and brake system. It is located behind the brake disc and primarily serves as a protective component for sensitive parts of the brake system. The backing plate prevents dirt, water, road salt, or small stones from coming into direct contact with the brake disc and brake caliper.

Besides its protective function, the brake disc backing plate also contributes to the stability and correct positioning of various brake components. It is usually attached to the wheel suspension or steering knuckle and ensures that components such as brake lines, sensor holders, or mounting points can be securely installed. At the same time, it helps to influence the airflow around the brake disc, thus contributing to heat dissipation.

Brake disc backing plates are typically made of robust sheet steel or corrosion-resistant metal alloys. High-quality coatings protect against rust and ensure a long service life, even under demanding weather conditions. A precise fit is crucial to ensure the brake disc can rotate freely and that no unwanted noise or rubbing occurs.
