Compact design minimizes weight and maintenance.
Bendix air disc brakes feature
a patented mono-block
caliper design, which makes
the brake more compact than
two-piece caliper designs. The
mono-block design also offers
better sealing from the environment
for better protection from the elements. Engineered to fit
the most popular North American wheel-end envelopes,
Bendix air disc brakes offer commercial vehicle drivers top
performance, durability, and long life.
Dual, internally adjusted pistons allow the Bendix
®
ADB22X
™
air disc brake to offer the most precise brake
adjustment, better force distribution, and more even pad
wear than any single piston caliper design. In addition, the
Bendix
®
ADB22X
™
brake is the lightest dual piston design
available. This lighter weight directly equates to increased
pay loads, better fuel economy and reduced fleet
operating cost.
The Bendix two guide pin design provides fewer seals and
boots, fewer wear components and more stringent overall
dimensional accuracy. This feature eliminates binding while
providing more consistent brake force and longer overall
brake life.
Air disc brakes are proven to significantly reduce stopping
distances on commercial vehicles as well as virtually
eliminating brake fade. An optimized pad and rotor
material combination ensures maximum life and results in
virtually no degradation in stopping power when brake
temperatures rise under heavy use.
Our unique pin style pad retainer allows for fast and easy
pad replacement even after millions of miles of on-highway
service. Changing Bendix
®
air disc brake pads takes less
than half the time it typically takes to change drum brake
linings, reducing downtime and labor costs.
