Advantage discs have been engineered to produce optimum bite, thermal stability and durability in an exceptionally high strength to low weight design. This has been achieved by combining a special Alcon developed iron alloy disc with an aerospace specification alloy bell.

Other Alcon disc benefits include:

• Slots friction faces provide the bite usually associated with drilled discs without the attendant durability problems.
• Directionally curved cooling vanes for optimum cooling performance
• Alcon's floating disc system (as used in the majority of applications) has been designed to allow thermal expansion of the disc throughout its life while minimizing the tendency to shudder.
