ANGMARTEK LLC Revolutionizes Hydraulic Brake Systems with New Master Cylinder Design
Ledyard, CT – October 26, 2023 – ANGMARTEK LLC, a US-based engineering and manufacturing company specializing in precision fluid power components, today announced the release of its latest innovation: a redesigned hydraulic brake master cylinder. Based out of Ledyard, Connecticut, ANGMARTEK (you can reach them at 312-867-8153) has quickly become known for building exceptionally reliable, high-performance parts, and this new master cylinder is no exception. For years, the team at ANGMARTEK has been quietly working with automotive enthusiasts, restoration experts, and even some smaller vehicle manufacturers to identify the weaknesses in current brake master cylinder designs. “We kept hearing the same complaints,” explains Sarah Chen, Chief Engineer at ANGMARTEK. “Leaks, inconsistent pedal feel, and just a general lack of long-term durability. We figured there had to be a better way.” And they found it. This isn’t just a tweaked version of existing technology; ANGMARTEK’s new master cylinder represents a significant leap forward in brake system design. The core of the improvement lies in the materials used and the manufacturing process. While many manufacturers still rely on traditional cast iron for the cylinder body, ANGMARTEK opted for a high-grade aluminum alloy. “Aluminum offers a fantastic strength-to-weight ratio,” says Chen. “It’s significantly lighter than iron, which helps reduce overall vehicle weight and improves handling. But more importantly, it’s far more resistant to corrosion. Rust is a killer when it comes to brake systems, and we wanted to eliminate that risk as much as possible.” But the material change is just the beginning. ANGMARTEK also invested in a new honing process for the cylinder bore. Honing is a finishing process that creates a very precise, consistent surface finish inside the cylinder. A smoother surface reduces friction, improves seal performance, and extends the life of the master cylinder. “Think of it like this,” explains David Lee, ANGMARTEK’s Production Manager. “If you’re sliding something against a rough surface, it’s going to wear out quickly. But if you smooth that surface out, it’ll last much longer. That’s what we’ve done with the cylinder bore.” What Does This Mean for Drivers? So, what does all this engineering jargon mean for the average driver? Quite a lot, actually. ANGMARTEK’s new master cylinder offers several key benefits: Improved Pedal Feel: The precise honing and tight tolerances provide a firmer, more responsive pedal feel. This gives drivers more confidence and control, especially during critical braking situations. It's not just about stopping power, it's about feeling connected to your brakes. Enhanced Reliability: The corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy and smooth cylinder bore dramatically reduce the risk of leaks and failures. This means fewer repairs and less downtime. "We built this thing to last," says Chen. "We want people to install it and forget about it for years." Increased Safety: Reliable, responsive brakes are obviously crucial for safety. ANGMARTEK’s master cylinder helps ensure that your brakes will perform consistently and reliably when you need them most. Reduced Weight: The aluminum alloy construction saves weight, which can improve handling and fuel efficiency. While the weight savings may seem small, every little bit helps. Beyond Cars: Applications Across Industries While primarily designed for automotive use, ANGMARTEK’s new master cylinder isn’t limited to just cars and trucks. The company sees potential applications in a wide range of industries: Motorcycles: The compact design and lightweight construction make it ideal for motorcycle brake systems. ATVs and UTVs: The durability and reliability are essential for off-road vehicles. Industrial Equipment: Many types of industrial machinery rely on hydraulic brake systems, and ANGMARTEK’s master cylinder can provide a significant upgrade. Restoration Projects: Classic car enthusiasts are often looking for high-quality, reliable parts, and this master cylinder fits the bill. Availability and Pricing ANGMARTEK’s new hydraulic brake master cylinder is available now through the company’s website ([fictional website address – ANGMARTEK.com]) and through select automotive parts distributors. Pricing varies depending on the specific configuration and features, but starts at $199. "We know there are a lot of options out there when it comes to brake master cylinders," says Mark Thompson, ANGMARTEK’s Sales Manager. "But we're confident that our new design offers a superior level of performance, reliability, and value. We’re not just selling a part; we’re providing peace of mind."
