The highest quality requirement for the automotive engine, transmission, brake &
steering components has always been a challenge for Sapura Machining Corporation Sdn
Bhd (SMC). Being one of the pioneers in the high precision machining in Malaysia, SMC has
been very successful in meeting the stringent quality requirement by automotive
assemblers. Precision machining is its core business with products ranging from engine,
transmission, brake system and steering components. Currently SMC has successfully
commenced the mass production and delivery for CAMPRO engine parts for PROTON, D73A
parts for PERODUA, D18D parts for Perodua, Ford I4 parts for Ford Philippines, D46T parts
for Perodua, P2-110 for Proton and P6-20A for Proton. With a complete range of high
degree automated equipment and dedicated workforce, SMC is determined to become one
of the major players in the region.
Below shows the achievements that have been attained by SAPURA.

Topic of production

The disc brake is a device for slowing or stopping the rotation of a wheel. A
brake disc (or rotor in US English), usually made of cast iron or ceramic, is connected to
the wheel or the axle. To stop the wheel, friction material in the form of brake pads
(mounted in a device called a brake caliper) is forced mechanically, hydraulically or
pneumatically against both sides of the disc. Friction causes the disc and attached wheel
to slow or stop.

Many early implementations located the brakes on the inboard side of the
driveshaft, near the differential, but most brakes today are located inside the wheels.(An
inboard location reduces the unsprung weight and eliminates a source of heat transfer to
the tires, important in Formula One racing.)
Disc brakes were most popular on sports cars when they were first introduced,

since these vehicles are more demanding about brake performance. Discs have now
become the more common form in most passenger vehicles, although many use drum
brakes on the rear wheels to keep costs and weight down as well as to simplify the
provisions for a parking brake. As the front brakes perform most of the braking effort,
this can be a reasonable compromise.
The design of the disc varies somewhat. Some are simply solid cast iron, but
others are hollowed out with fins joining together the disc's two contact surfaces (usually
included as part of a casting process). This "ventilated" disc design helps to dissipate the
generated heat and is commonly used on the more-heavily-loaded front rotors.
