Raybestos was established by Arthur H. Raymond and Arthur F. Law of
Bridgeport in 1902. The two had invented the woven brake lining in 1906, which
has been a significant innovation in automotive brakes. Through the years
1919-1989 Raybestos brand products were manufactured by Raymark Industries,
Inc, in Stratford, Connecticut.
It has been over a century that Raybestos has been a world-renowned name
in the brake parts industry, this has been due to their innovative, dependable
and safe product ranges. This has made Raybestos a global leader in the
automotive aftermarket. Raybestos has gained the trust of its customers by
being a brand that can be trusted for its quality. Now the products of the
brand are distributed by Brake Parts Inc based in McHenry, Illinois.
Raybestos has a dedicated team of quality engineers that work tirelessly
in order to ensure each product matches or exceeds OE form, fit and function,
this goes all their range including; friction, rotors, drums, calipers, hub
assemblies, and hydraulics. All the products go through testing to ensure
the customer only receives a high-quality and reliable product, they take it
very seriously that the customer is always satisfied by their purchase and
remains safe in your vehicle.

Law enforcement agencies need precision, stealth, and durability in city and street patrol cars. In this aspect, the Advanced Technology ® rotors from Raybestos brand "Quiet on Arrival" (QOA ®) are designed to provide superior results and provide unprecedented noise control properties for stopping power cooling.
Superior Metallurgy. The "one metallurgy fits all" principle has been developed by engineers. QOA Technology rotors are cast from damp iron – an alloy made metallurgically to disturb vibration and suppress sound ensuring that they arrive constantly and quietly at all times.
Enhanced Vane Configuration. The QOA rotor has been designed specifically to increase airflow throughout the rotor. The lower temperatures are held in a vane configuration which is not consistent with any other efficient rotor.
Optimized Weight. While police vehicles stop suddenly at high speeds, the front wheels have an inherently high weight distribution and temperature. A 3:1 swap ratio between the front and rear rotors has been discovered by recent fleet tests. Raybestos QOA Advanced rotors on both fore and rear systems offer excellent braking and stability on or on patrol.
Coat Armor. Durability is a critical aspect of police rotors prone to environmental conditions such as sun, cold, frost, snow and rain. The unique armor safety properties of the polymer binding layer give much more protection from the elements.

6. Hub Assemblies
Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly
A suspension mounting flange with integral racing systems machined on the outside coat is the latest generation of hub units and an integrated brake/wheel assembly flange with integral racing systems machined on the inner core, making installation even easier and previously unattainable. Also, these systems have an integrated lifetime seal pre-lubricated. These are maintenance-free, autonomous and pre-loaded, and need no modifications. There is an integral ABS sensor in many of these units.
Benefits:
Simplified installation
Maintenance-free
Maximized bearing life
No preloading required
Compact size
Features:
Lifetime lubrication
Angular bearing contact for axial stability
Integral lifetime seal
Integral wheel mounting flange
Integral suspension mounting flange
Integral ABS sensors available
Wheel Hub
The second step attaches a connection to the exterior shell of the bearing that reduces the need for a distinct hub. The flanging cup includes integral paths and also ABS sensors are part of some systems. The positioning of the brake and wheel to the flange is significantly easier. Unlike Gen I, these systems have an integral life seal pre-lubricated. They do not require adjustment, they are maintenance-free, independent and preloaded to guarantee long service lives.
Benefits:
Simplified installation
Maintenance-free
Maximized bearing life
No preloading required
Compact size
Features:
Lifetime lubrication
Angular bearing contact for axial stability
Integral lifetime seal
Integral wheel mounting flange
Wheel Bearing
A double-row angle ball bearing system that generates lateral and vertical stresses consists of a first step in the construction of the hub. Such systems have an integral lifetime seal before lubricating. They do not need to be changed, maintenance-free and independent. One important advantage of this design is that no deployment preload was needed. Although proper preload can extend a lifespan of a bearing, it can be equally easily shortened by incorrect preloading (due to precise measurement of the end play).
Benefits:
Maintenance-free
Maximized bearing life
No preloading required
Compact size
Features:
Lifetime lubrication
Angular bearing contact for axial stability
Integral lifetime seal

More About Raybestos Auto Parts
Raybestos
has created a name of respect in the automotive industry since it was founded.
The highlights of the company include their role in World War I and II,
Raybestos provided brake lining material by the mile for tanks and trucks and
later heavy bombers, as well as ninety percent of aircraft supercharger drive
system materials. In 1924 manufacturers of Raybestos products launched brake
clinics to train brake service professionals who were dealing with rapidly
changing technology, they did this based on the need they noticed in the market
for them. The clinics are still held today and train thousands of technicians
every year.
The
1950s saw the use of Raybestos products in auto racing. Raybestos understands
the importance of brakes in such scenarios; they invest heavily in research and
development of the entire brake system. It has been over 100 years that
Raybestos has been setting the benchmark for quality brake pads. Customers are
able to enjoy the most advanced brake pad and rotor technology. The brakes
designed by Raybestos are such that they provide you with "comfort in
safety" (so long as the brake lining is in perfect condition).
Comfort in Safety
The
automaker puts the equipment he knows into his vehicle and will be sure to
provide adequate service over the unit's life. The brakes are designed for
"safety convenience" but only if the brake pad is in good shape.
To
ensure security, the manufacturer does everything possible. However, there are
limited responsibilities. The responsibility lies with you when the car is in
your hands. Brakes need to be adjusted from time to time and brake fittings are
worn in time and need to be replaced.
You
must have the brakes inspected and adjusted regularly to obtain the same safety
measure as the manufacturer intended to be yours.
Your
garage guy can make the operation quickly, and if you need a new Raybestos
brake pad, it will be provided by Raybestos, meaning "COMFORT IN
SAFETY!"
